uW Translation Notes:

שֹׁפֵךְ֙

sheds

The first half of verse 6 repeats and summarizes verse 5. Alternate translation: “Yes if anyone”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שֹׁפֵךְ֙ דַּ֣ם

sheds blood

The first half of verse 6 repeats and summarizes verse 5. The phrase “sheds the blood of” is an idiom that means to deliberately kill someone. Blood is an important concept in this passage and throughout the Bible so, if possible, it is best to keep this term in a translation. If that is not possible, you should put the literal text in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Yes if anyone kills” or “Whoever takes the life of”

הָֽ⁠אָדָ֔ם

the=humankind

Alternate translation: “a person,” or “another human being,” or “someone,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בָּֽ⁠אָדָ֖ם דָּמ֣⁠וֹ יִשָּׁפֵ֑ךְ

in/on/at/with,man blood,his shed

For some languages it is more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “That’s right, you must put to death anyone who murders a human being, because I, God, made human beings in my own image.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “people must execute him,” or “people must put him to death,” or “he must be executed,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

כִּ֚י בְּ⁠צֶ֣לֶם אֱלֹהִ֔ים עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת הָ⁠אָדָֽם

that/for/because/then/when in=(the)_image ʼElohīm he/it_had_made DOM the=humankind

Make sure it is clear in your translation that God is referring to himself in this clause. See how you translated a similar clause in Gen 1:27. Alternate translation: “because I, God made people in my own image.” or “because I created human beings to be like myself.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:6 For God made human beings in his own image: The death penalty has a theological basis. God’s image gives humans a unique status and authority within creation (1:26-28). Since murder destroys a person made in God’s image, the ultimate penalty must be imposed on a murderer. See also Exod 21:23-25. We are not to pursue personal revenge (Rom 12:17-19) but are to uphold the justice of the “governing authorities” that God has established (Rom 13:1-7).
