[size=+2]( King James Version ) Exodus 20:13 [13] Thou shalt not kill. .
Now Lets look at the word in the language it was written . In this case its in Exodus, so its going to be Hebrew.
Where going to need the Strong's Concordance to do this .
It is Strong's number
7523
ratsach
raw-tsakh'
a primitive root; properly, to dash in pieces, i.e. kill (a human being), especially to murder:--put to death, kill, (man-)slay(-er), murder(-er).
(So there we have it, dose not read the same in English as it dose in Hebrew.
As if we did not know what Murder is already. It's premeditated criminal , homicide. That's lying in wait to kill some one for no reason. Criminal .)
............................................................
Christ uses this same word I think; When He says in
Matthew 5 : [21]" Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:"
This is in the New Testament, and its in Greek, so lets go back to the Strong's to see what this word says in the Greek.
So lets see the word Christ used here There are two mention of the word kill, so lets look at them both. the first kill is
5407
foneuw
phoneuo
fon-yoo'-o
from foneuV - phoneus 5406; to be a murderer (of):--kill, do murder, slay. Lets look at this word ( 5406 ) it mentions in connection; just for a possible deeper understanding of the word used here by Christ :
5406
foneuV
phoneus
fon-yooce'
from fonoV - phonos 5408; a murderer (always of criminal (or at least intentional) homicide; which anqrwpoktonoV - anthropoktonos 443 does not necessarily imply; while sikarioV - sikarios 4607 is a special term for a public bandit):--murderer.
We can go a little deeper and look at the words it mentions in connection ; ( 5408 , 443 , and 4607 )
5408
fonoV
phonos
fon'-os
from an obsolete primary pheno (to slay); murder:--murder, + be slain with, slaughter.
next :
443
anqrwpoktonoV
anthropoktonos
anth-ro-pok-ton'-os
from anqrwpoV - anthropos 444 and kteino (to kill); a manslayer:--murderer. Compare foneuV - phoneus 5406.
and last:
4607
sikarioV
sikarios
sik-ar'-ee-os
of Latin origin; a dagger-man or assassin; a freebooter (Jewish fanatic outlawed by the Romans):--murderer. Compare foneuV - phoneus 5406.
and we see it connects back to 5406.
Now we have a understanding of the word used in Exodus 20 : 15 [13] Thou shalt not kill.
and ever understand better what Christ said in Matthew 5: [21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:. Just from a simple study Hebrew and Greek word study that anyone can do.
We have a better understanding of what The Heavenly Father meant, where the English didn't quite cut it in this situation.
We can take it farther, by reading, even instance the work kill or murder is used in the old testament. and new. And taking into account what is happening . Then we get to know this word better and how its used in what situations dealing with what ever the subject is its used, in.
All places in the (((( King James )))) where the word , " kill " is located .
Now we just saw how the word kill did not, carry well over to the English from the Hebrew as used in Exodus 20:15.
So you may need to look at the Hebrew for all of these words to get a clearer picture.
But read the subject each of these words are used in , like in what context.
This is why I'm so appose to "new" translations of the Bible, into newer English . Because most often it drifts farther away from the original meaning most all the time in these new translations. They make get one word better, and farther muddy 1000 words.
So I like the King James Version, for that reason . and The fact that the Strong's Concordance is " keyed" it's numbering system; to the King James Version.
I did not write out the other like words,that appear in the King James related to this study: KILLETH and KILLED had a lot of entries as well. So i did not want to write them all out. But I wrote the other words where you can find them
( This is probably the best "Online version "of the Strong's available that I know of >>
