That's because you've only read the King James Version, where the Hebrew word "ratsach" was translated as "kill." In other versions, including the New King James Version, it is translated as "murder," which represents the true meaning of the Hebrew text. In that version, the sixth commandment is, "Thou Shalt Not Murder."
