"Thou shall not kill"
~Sixth Commandment, (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17)
And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so." ~Genesis 1:29-30
Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. ~Genesis 9:3
"The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither hunt nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the Lord.~Isaiah 65:25
God said "What I want is mercy, not sacrifice."~Hosea 6:6
"But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it." ~Genesis 9.4-5
"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of goats. When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear, for your hands are full of blood." ~Isaiah 1.11,15
"It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. ~Leviticus 3.17
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of strangers who sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set My face against that soul that eateth blood." ~Leviticus 17.10
"He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man." ~Isaiah 66.3
“God giveth the grains and the fruits of the earth for food: and for righteous man truly there is no other lawful sustenance for the body."
