Also the meanings of both Hebrew and English words can change over time, so it can be difficult to decipher exactly what was meant at the time of writing. But today the most widely accepted translation of the sixth commandment as it was written in Hebrew is, "Thou shalt not murder."

That is the first time I have read that containing that wording... That would seem to put a different light on it.
