Genesis 9:5

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.
  1. The Lord seems to have moved on from diet to capital punishment, based upon the following verse, but if so I don't understand the reference to beasts unless He is referring to situations where a beast kills a person. At any rate, it seems likely there's been something lost in either the recording or the translation.
