nEarliest indication:
nGenesis
9:5-6 (NIV) And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an
accounting. I will demand an accounting
from every animal. And from each man, too,
I will demand an accounting for the life
of his fellow man. 6 ÒWhoever sheds the blood
of man, by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of God has God made man.Ó
