Notes
This commandment is also found in Exodus 20:13
This is better translated into “murder”. Not “kill”.
A lot of modern translations translate the word that way.
Murder is defined as: The killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.
We know that the Bible supports the idea of self-defense.
For example in Exodus 22:2-3.
So the Bible supports protecting your own life and your family.
