Genesis 9:4 in Context — Genesis 9
2 E vosso temor e vosso pavor será sobre todo animal da terra, e sobre toda ave dos céus, em tudo o que se mover na terra, e em todos os peixes do mar: em vossa mão são entregues.
3 Tudo o que se move e vive vos será para mantimento: assim como os legumes e ervas, vos dei disso tudo.
4 Porém a carne com sua vida, que é seu sangue, não comereis.
5 Porque certamente exigirei o sangue de vossas vidas; da mão de todo animal o exigirei, e da mão do ser humano; da mão do homem seu irmão exigirei a vida do ser humano.
6 O que derramar sangue humano, pelo ser humano seu sangue será derramado; porque à imagem de Deus o ser humano foi feito.
