COMMENTARY ON GENESIS
4. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye
4. Veruntamen carnem cum anima ejus, sanguine ejus, non comedetis. not eat.
5. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
5. Et profecto sanguinem vestrum, qui vobis est in animas, requiram: de manu omnis bestiae requiram illum, et de manu hominis, et de manu viri fratris ejus requiram animam hominis.
6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
6. Qui effuderit sanguinem hominis in homine, sanguis ejus effundetur: quia ad imaginem Dei fecit hominem.
7. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
7. Et vos crescite, et multiplicamini, et generate in terra, et multiplicemini in ea.
8. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
8. Et dixit Deus ad Noah, et ad filios ejus qui cum eo erant, dicendo,
9. And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
9. Et ego, ecce ego statuo pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos.
10. And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
10. Et cum omni anima vivente quae est vobiscum, tam cum volatili quam cum animali, et omni bestia terrae vobiscum, ab omnibus quae egressa sunt ex arca: cum omni, inquam, bestia terrae.
