12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Genesis 9:12
Arcana Coelestia #1009
1009. Verse 6. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood in man, his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God made He man. “Sheddeth man’s blood in man” signifies extinguishing charity; “in man” is with man; “his blood shall be shed” signifies his condemnation; “for in the image of God made He man” signifies charity, which is the “image of God.”
