U-2012> I don’t find that anywhere in YHvH’s commandments:

You’ll find it in the Ten Commandments as number six.

While it is common to render “kill” to mean “murder” in order to provide justification the the times when humans do kill humans (war, capital punishment, self defense), Jesus makes the meaning plain in His Sermon on the Mount, Matt 5:21-22

“Thou shalt not kill” means “Thou shalt not kill”. When we do we are in violation of God’s law.

I don't find that anywhere in YHvH's commandments:

What I found in YHvH's word is:

NAsbU Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder.

NAsbU Deuteronomy 5:17 'You shall not murder.

Other references are :
Exod. 20:13; Deut. 5:17; Ps. 62:3; 94:6; Jer. 7:9; Hos. 4:2; 6:9; Matt. 5:21; 19:18; Mk. 10:19; 15:7; Lk. 18:20; 23:19, 25; Acts 9:1; Rom. 1:29; 13:9; Jas. 2:11; 4:2

YHvH commands us to use the death sentence for murderers

NAsbU Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
You seem to be using a mis-translation from the Vulgate or the KJV

Yah'shua repeats His commandment not to murder in
Matt. 5:21; 19:18; Mk. 10:19; 15:7; Lk. 18:20; 23:19, 25

The Hebrew word for murder is
Exo 20:13 לא תרצח׃

HSN-7523 תרצח׃ ratsach (953d)
Meaning: to murder, slay
Origin: a prim. root
Usage: killed(1), kills the manslayer(1), manslayer(18), murder(7), murdered(2), murderer(12),
murderer shall be put(1), murderers(1), murders(1), put to death(1), slew(1).
Notes: (a) Gen 9:6; Exo 21:12; Lev 24:17; Mat 5:21; Mat 19:18; Mar 10:19; Luk 18:20; Rom 13:9; Jam 2:11

I pray you seek the face of G-d in His Word and not in the traditions of man.

I use the KJV, which translates the Word of God with sufficient accuracy for any Christian to adequately understand God’s Will and Christ’s Commandments.

One advantage to Christianity is that we need not debate the subtleties of linguistics in order to understand God’s intention. This is because Jesus Christ Himself provided further revelation, which removes all doubt.

In this case, the difference between “murder” and “kill” in the Ten Commandments is made moot by Christ’s words in the Sermon on the Mount. Not only is the Christian expected not to (murder/kill) his fellow man, but Christ holds us to an even higher standard of behavior, as we read in Matt 5 21:22. Irrespective of whether we believe God meant “Thou Shalt Not Murder” (as you believe) or “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (as I believe), that baseline is lifted to Christ’s higher expectation for His followers.

> I pray you seek the face of G-d in His Word and not in the traditions of man.

Likewise, FRiend.
