Genesis 9:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green vegetables and plants, I give you everything.

⁴ But you shall not eat flesh with the life of it, which is its blood.

⁵ And surely for your lifeblood I will require an accounting; from every beast I will require it; and from man, from every man [who spills another’s lifeblood] I will require a reckoning.
