Exodus 20:13 meaning and explanation
You shall not murder.
Exodus 20:13, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The Ten Commandments are spoken by God to Israel at Mount Sinai, freshly rescued from slavery in Egypt, as the terms of their covenant life. The sixth command, "You shall not murder," uses the Hebrew verb ratsach, which refers to the unlawful killing of a human being, not to every taking of life; Israel's law elsewhere permits capital punishment and warfare.
