Exodus 20:13 states, "You shall not murder" (or "Thou shalt not kill" in older translations).This verse is the Sixth Commandment in the Bible. It establishes the deep value of human life, because people are made in the image of God.Key MeaningsThe Hebrew Word: The original word (ratsah) specifically means unauthorized, unlawful, or intentional killing, rather than a total ban on all taking of life.
Kings James is a bad translation of a 500 year old language nobody uses anymore. The correct translation is murder. You are allowed to kill. In fact God ordered jews to kill, Jehu rings a bell. There is a HUGE difference between killing and murdering.
