English of Core Text: Rav Yehudah said in the name of Rav: Adam the first man was not permitted meat for eating, as it is said “it shall be yours for food, and to every beast of the earth” — and not the beast of the earth for you. And even though it is written “and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heaven...” — those [are] for work (service), not for eating.
