The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens; of all that the earth swarmeth forth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.

The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

But the blood of your lives I will I require of every animal which hath killed a man, I will require that it be put to death on his account. And from the hand of the human being, from the hand of the man who hath shed the blood of his brother, will I require the life of man.

דְיֵישׁוֹד דְמָא דְאֵינָשָׁא בְּסַהֲדִין דְיָינַיָא מְחַיְיבִין לֵיהּ קְטוֹל וּדְיֵישׁוֹד בְּלָא סַהֲדִין מָרֵי עָלְמָא עָתִיד לְאִתְפַּרְעָא מִנֵיהּ לְיוֹם דִינָא רַבָּא אֲרוּם בִּדְיוֹקְנָא דַיְיָ עֲבַד יַת אֵינָשָׁא
