2 T he fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.

3 E very moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.

4 B ut flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.

But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

5 I will surely require your blood of your lives; at the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.

Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

6 W hoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

7 B e fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”

And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth And multiply in it.”

13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14 W hen I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

15 a nd I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 T he rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
