We have discussed before on JPFO the comparison between "killing" and "murder" - see Rabbi Bendory's excellent piece from 2012 -- "The Ten Commandments, Killing, and Murder: A Detailed Commentary". To many people, the two terms are seen as one and the same thing but, that is far from the truth, as Denis Prager explores the moral confusion behind the use of "Thou Shall Not Kill."

By Dennis Prager. December 2nd 2014

Ask almost anyone to recite the commandment in the Ten Commandments that prohibits taking a life and you will be told, "Thou Shall Not Kill."

That is the King James translation of the sixth commandment. It is a magnificent translation. But this one has led to much moral confusion.

You would think that of all the Ten Commandments the one that needs the least explaining is the sixth, because it seems so clear. It is the one that the King James Bible, the most widely used English translation of the Bible, translates as, "Thou shall not kill."

Yet, the truth is the quite the opposite......... -->
