There is great debate as to whether the Hebrew says "kill" or "murder".

Since, in the Old Testament, YHWH (the Tetragrammaton, or Name of
God) both in Law and for conquest tells the Israelites to kill
people, it is logical that the constraint is against "murder"
(illegal killing), not generralized "killing".
