Taking Human Life, Part 1 (Genesis 9:4–6)
Update: 2025-10-03
Description
In explicitly giving “all that lives and moves” to humans for food, God makes two exceptions. The first we covered last week. We now begin covering the second, that human life should not be taken for food, or for any reason, except as punishment for the taking of another human life.
