6 Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed,+ for in God’s image he made man.

16 “‘Now if it was with an instrument of iron that he has struck him so that he dies, he is a murderer.+ Without fail the murderer should be put to death.+

5 After that he went to the house of his father at Ophʹrah+ and killed his brothers,+ the sons of Jer·ub·baʹal, seventy men, upon one stone, but Joʹtham the youngest son of Jer·ub·baʹal was left over, because he had hid.

32 And Jehovah will certainly bring back his blood upon his own head,+ because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he was,+ and he proceeded to kill them with the sword, when my father David himself had not known of it,+ namely, Abʹner+ the son of Ner the chief of the army of Israel+ and A·maʹsa+ the son of Jeʹther the chief of the army of Judah.+

35 that there may come upon YOU all the righteous blood spilled on earth,+ from the blood of righteous+ Abel+ to the blood of Zech·a·riʹah son of Bar·a·chiʹah, whom YOU murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.+
