Genesis 9:5-6
King James Version
(KJV)
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.
6 Whoso sheddeth
man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he
man.
Thoughts:
"When God requires the life of a man at the hand of him that took it away unjustly, the murderer cannot render that, and therefore must render his own in lieu of it, which is the only way left of making restitution." - Matthew Henry
