in HaSifriyah: :The Jewish Community Library

Now studyingParashat Ha-Shavua, the weekly Torah portion

Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in

His image did God make man. (Genesis 9:6)

A poem that plays on the sounds of humankind (adam) and blood (dam):

shofekh dam ha-adam/ ba-adam damo yishafekh. (Everett Fox)

The rst half of this verse has a poetic ring. The initial three Hebrew words,

which describe the crime, are placed in exactly the reverse order to proclaim the

penalty - poetic justice! In this way, the chiastic literary form gives expression to the

underlying legal principle of talion, or measure for measure. Capital punishment is

here divinely sanctioned. (Nahum Sarna)

Is it true that this verse - narrative poetry, not a legal text - sanctions capitalpunishment?

Why is such subject matter introduced by the Torah in poetic language?

Can by man shall his blood be shed be fairly understood as predictive (What goes

around) rather than prescriptive?

Shiru l'Adonai, shiru shir chadash; shiru l'Adonai, kol ha-aretz (2)

Shiru l'Adonai, barchu sh'mo; bas-ru mi-yom l'yom y'shu-ato (2)

(Sing unto God a new song, sing forth all the earth! Sing unto God, blessed be God's

name, Praise God for God's daily help!)
