Genesis 8-11
It's interesting to me that here, in the first days after the flood, before the Law, God make's known His mind concerning capital punishment; and He gives, as His reason, that mankind was made in His image. Thus, He takes murder personally. It's almost like killing God when we take another human's life! So, God, in His infinite wisdom, says that the murderer's life should be forfeited. It is neither harsh, nor contradictory; it is justice! May You be forever praised for providing your children justice! For, without your leading, we would surely be lost.
