Genesis 9:5-7 NIV

[5] And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. [6] “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. [7] As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
