To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. " Great stress is usually laid upon the word ^^ shall" in this text. "By man shall his blood be shed, " as if the declaration was imperative. But this same auxilliary is employed in this same connection where the meaning cannot be imperative. '■'-Every moving thing that liveth SHALL BE meat for you''^ Caterpillers, spiders and rattlesnakes " live " and "move;" so that if this text is to be taken in its literal and imperative sense, all... men are doomed to subsist upon these poisonous insects and rep- tiles. Do you say this instruction was limited to the He- brews, and designed only to regulate their practices in diet? * See third verse. 10 114 THE BIBLE ARGUMENT CONTINUED. then, on the same grounds, we can limit the instruction of the sixth verse to the Hebrews, and say that only they should pour out blood for blood. But this was not the design of the text. " Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. "^ Here is the same imperative form; but the sense is not imperative.
