Jacob’s Bible
Genesis 9
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all the moveth upon the earth. and upon all fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
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.
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Does anyone else get the feeling that some of these phrases just repeat themselves in a differently written way? I don’t understand why at this point someone can’t just translate all of this into something that we can easily understand at this point.
Then again this game is set in the past, so I’m grumbling for nothing.
The meaning behind him reading this is…foreboding, to say the least.
