"of every animal." I did not realize that animals will have to account to God. That would mean that animals have free will and if they shed the blood of a human - they will be held accountable to God.
I don't know if their actions are also held to account regarding anything else. What do you think?
In Genesis 9, God said,
4 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 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 "Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made man.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it."
