Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD God had made. The snake asked the woman, "Did God really tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?"

Human beings were made like God, so whoever murders one of them will be killed by someone else.

"If a bull gores someone to death, it is to be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but its owner is not to be punished.

However, if the owner is allowed to pay a fine to save his life, he must pay the full amount required.

If the bull kills a male or female slave, its owner shall pay the owner of the slave thirty pieces of silver, and the bull shall be stoned to death.

So then, you must make a clear distinction between animals and birds that are ritually clean and those that are not. Do not eat unclean animals or birds. I have declared them unclean, and eating them would make you unclean.

The peoples of the desert will bow down before him; his enemies will throw themselves to the ground.

Jerusalem will be like a ghost struggling to speak from under the ground, a muffled voice coming from the dust.

Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil."

They will crawl in the dust like snakes; they will come from their fortresses, trembling and afraid. They will turn in fear to the LORD our God.
