Genesis 9:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Every ·animal [living thing] on earth, every bird in the ·sky [heavens], every animal that crawls on the ground, and every fish in the sea will ·respect [fear] and ·fear [dread; be terrified of] you. I have given them ·to you [^Linto your hand].

³ “Everything that moves, everything that is alive, is yours for food. Earlier I gave you the green plants [1:29–30], but now I give you everything for food. ⁴ But you must not eat ·meat [flesh] that still has blood in it, because blood ·gives [^Lis] life [Lev. 3:17; 7:26–27; 17:10–14].
