KILL is defined as
to cause the death of (a person, animal, or other living thing).
MURDER is defined as
MURDER is defined as
the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
King James Version of the Bible
Commandment #6 -- Thou shall not kill
Hebrew Version (Exodus) of the Bible
Commandment #6 -- You shall not murder
There is a BIG DIFFERENCE both the the Hebrew language and in the English language between the words: KILL and MURDER... and the KEY WORD that is absent in one definition but present in the other is the word: PREMEDITATED.
It would appear that in the original version of The Ten Commandments, the word MURDER was used instead of KILL... which means that one should not kill when that killing is done from the standpoint of being premeditated... as opposed let's say to being involuntary as in the case of an accident.
SO...
why would words be changed or different words be used when translating Hebrew into English unless it was the translator's premeditated intent to use different words thereby creating different outcomes for the reader and anyone who tries to put The Ten Commandments into action.
