Bible Question: Some Bibles say 'Kill', others say 'Murder'? What is the correct translation-and-how is this explained with all the 'killings' and or 'murders' subsequent to the book of Exodus? Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Strictly speaking the word applies to premeditated and deliberate murder without reasonable excuse. Thus it did not apply to 'avengers of blood', or to self-defence, or to killing in war. Best wishes |
