Genesis 9:3-7 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

3. “Everything that moves, everything that is alive, is yours for food. Earlier I gave you the green plants. And now I give you everything for food.

4. But you must not eat meat that still has blood in it, because blood gives life.

5. I will demand your blood for your lives. That is, I will demand the life of any animal that kills a person. And I will demand the life of anyone who takes another person’s life.

6. “Whoever kills a human beingwill be killed by a human being.This is because God made humansin his own image.

7. “Noah, I want you and your family to have many children. Grow in number on the earth and become many.”
