Commandment 5 is described in error.

Murder is forbidden, not killing.

The original is quite clear, so this is either an error driven by agenda or sloppy writing.

Very correct. To kill is simply to end life. It carries no moral connotation.

Using “kill” in place of “murder” is, I’ve been told, based upon the KJV translation. When “kill” was commonly understood to mean what we now call murder. Something premeditated. such as Cain murdered Able.
