“But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 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. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”
William Harvey lived from 1578 till 1657. He was the first doctor to describe how blood circulates around the body and is pumped by the heart. He qualified as a medical doctor in 1602 and worked in London, he was even the royal physician to King James 1. Before that time people believed that Galen, who lived in the second century AD was correct. He said that the body made new blood as it used the old blood up. He was unpopular at the time because many doctors would make their patients bleed so that they could get rid of the extra bad blood and cure the patient. William Harvey actually proved that God was correct when He told Noah that the life was in the blood. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients around the body and brings life to every cell. Shedding a person’s blood is the same as taking their life away and eating blood is the same as eating an animal’s life. God required that any person who took one person’s life would be forced to give up their own life as a penalty. We live in a different era where people have been affected by nearly two thousand years of Christianity and we see the value of a person’s life and we live under grace not the Law. However, it is interesting to remember that the Creator knew the way that the human body worked long before any scientist was able to discover that He is correct.
