Genesis 9
Blessed Noah
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you(we·ḥit·te·kem וְחִתְּכֶם֙)[1] and the dread of you ū·mō·w·ra·’ă·ḵem (וּמוֹרַאֲכֶ֤ם)[2] shall be upon every beast[3] of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth(life) shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life(בְּנַפְשׁ֥וֹ) thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat(תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃).[4]
5 And surely your blood of your lives(לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם֙)[5] will I require(אֶדְרְשֶׁ֑נּוּ)[6]; at the hand of every beast (life)[3] will I require it, and at the hand of man(adam); at the hand of every man'sman brother will I require the life<05315> of man(adam).
6 Whoso sheddeth[7] man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast[3] of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

- Leviticus 19:26 "Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times."
- Deuteronomy 12:23 "Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD. 26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose: 27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh."

- Galatians 5:15 "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
- The Bible forbids eating meat with blood if we believe the private interpretation of Genesis 9:4 "4 But flesh with the life(בְּנַפְשׁ֥וֹ) thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat(תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃)." But it is "the life is in the blood" of another we should not consume. This prohibition is poorly understood. see Leviticus 17:10-14 "the life of the flesh is in the blood", Deuteronomy 12:23-27 "Eat not the blood" and "thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood... upon the altar of the LORD. "
- Acts 15:20, 29 "... they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood." See also Milk and meat and the dainties of rulers which are deceitful meats because they are that snare and trap that makes men merchandise delivering them into a yoke of bondage in Mystery Babylon.
