BODY

Genesis 9:1 “And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”

God blessed Noah and recommissioned him to fill the earth.

Genesis 9:2–3 “The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”

Man’s relationship to the animals appears to have changed, in that man is free to eat animals for sustenance.

Genesis 9:4 “But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.”

Raw blood was not to be consumed as food. It symbolically represented life. To shed blood symbolically represented death.

Leviticus 17:11 “11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.”

The blood of animals, representing their life, was not to be eaten. It was, in fact, that blood that God designed to be a covering for sin.
