Genesis 9:3-5
New King James Version
3 (A)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you (B)all things, even as the (C)green herbs. 4 (D)But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; (E)from the hand of every beast I will require it, and (F)from the hand of man. From the hand of every (G)man’s brother I will require the life of man.
