Genesis 9:4-7

⁴But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. ⁵I certainly will require your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it. And from every person, from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person.

6“Whoever sheds human blood,

By man his blood shall be shed,

For in the image of God

He made mankind.

7“As for you, be fruitful and multiply;

Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
