The hebrew "harog" means to kill, the hebrew "retzach" means to murder. The Hebrew in the Ten Commandments is "Lo tirtzach" "You (Plural) will not murder".

I had no idea. That is really interesting... (Again, an HONEST comment with no snark attached at all... it's hard to get emotions through posts  )
