- the blood:
- "And surelyª¹ your bloodª of your livesª will I require;ª° at the handª¹ of every¹ beastª will I require¹ it,²° and at the handª¹ of man;ª at the handª¹ of every man'sª brotherª will I requireª°¹ the lifeª of man.ª ... Whoso sheddethª° man'sª blood,ª by manª shall his bloodª be shed:ª° for¹ in the imageª of Godª madeª° he¹ man.ª" {Gen 9:5-6} + "So ye shall not¹ polluteª°¹ the landª wherein¹ ye¹ [are]: for¹ bloodª it¹ defilethª°¹ the land:ª and the landª cannot¹ be cleansedª° of the bloodª that¹ is shedª° therein, but¹¹ by the bloodª of him that shedª° it." {Num 35:33} + "And also¹ for the innocentª bloodª that¹ he shed:ª° for he filledª°¹ Jerusalemª with innocentª blood;ª which the LORDª wouldª° not¹ pardon.ª°" {2Kg 24:4} + "When¹ he maketh inquisitionª° for blood,ª he rememberethª° them: he forgettethª° not¹ the cryª of the humble.ª°²" {Psa 9:12} + "For,¹ behold,¹ the LORDª cometh¹ out²° of his placeª¹ to punishª° the inhabitantsª° of the earthª for their iniquity:ª the earthª also shall discloseª°¹ her blood,ª and shall no¹ more¹ coverª°¹ her slain.ª°" {Isa 26:21} + "Rejoiceª° overª her,ª [thou] heaven,ª andª [ye] holyª apostlesª andª prophets;ª forª Godª hath avengedªª° youª onª her.ª ... Andª inª herª was foundª° the bloodª of prophets,ª andª of saints,ª andª of allª that were slainª° uponª the¹ earth.ª" {Rev 18:20-24}
