I've never seen a version of the Ten Commandments which has the commandment against murder as #4. The reckoning followed by Catholics and some others has "Thou shalt not kill" as the 5th commandment; most Protestants have it as the 6th.

The Septuagint version of Exodus has "Thou shalt not murder" (ou phoneuseis) in the 8th spot, after "Thou shalt not steal" (20:15).

I thought it was no. four, but if I am wrong (and probably am), I will gladly accept the correction. My point wasn't so much it's place in the Big Ten, but rather that we have it and they don't.
