2 A nd the fear of you and the dread and terror of you shall be upon every beast of the land, every bird of the air, all that creeps upon the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are delivered into your hand.

And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.

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

Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.

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

Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.

5 A nd surely for your lifeblood I will require an accounting; from every beast I will require it; and from man, from every man I will require a reckoning.

And indeed your blood, of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each of his brother, will I require the life of Man.

6 W hoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.

7 A nd you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.

And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.

and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark—every animal of the earth.

11 I will establish My covenant or pledge with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood; neither shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth and make it corrupt.

And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.

and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 W hen the bow is in the clouds and I look upon it, I will remember the everlasting covenant or pledge between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
