5 If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human life.

7 “You must have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth.”

9 “I am now making my covenant with you and with your descendants,
10 and with all living beings—all birds and all animals—everything that came out of the boat with you.
11 With these words I make my covenant with you: I promise that never again will all living beings be destroyed by a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth.
