Genesis 9:3 in Context — Genesis 9
1 Dieu bénit Noé et ses fils, et leur dit: Soyez féconds, multipliez, et remplissez la terre.
2 Vous serez un sujet de crainte et d’effroi pour tout animal de la terre, pour tout oiseau du ciel, pour tout ce qui se meut sur la terre, et pour tous les poissons de la mer: ils sont livrés entre vos mains.
3 Tout ce qui se meut et qui a vie vous servira de nourriture: je vous donne tout cela comme l’herbe verte.
4 Seulement, vous ne mangerez point de chair avec son âme, avec son sang.
5 Sachez-le aussi, je redemanderai le sang de vos âmes, je le redemanderai à tout animal; et je redemanderai l’âme de l’homme à l’homme, à l’homme qui est son frère.
