In context

3Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

6Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
