Excellent question. There are three words in Hebrew for kill. The first would be what you would do to an animal for food or an insect. The second is a killing that happens in self-defense. The third word is for murder. This third word for kill is what is in the Ten Commandments in both Exodus and Deuteronomy. The phrase 'Thou Shalt not kill' is from the King James version of The Bible which modern translations such as the NET Bible render as 'murder' instead.
Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder." note35
NET Bible Note 35tn The verb רָצַח (ratsakh) refers to the premeditated or accidental taking of the life of another human being; it includes any unauthorized killing (it is used for the punishment of a murderer, but that would not be included in the prohibition). This commandment teaches the sanctity of all human life. See J. H. Yoder, "Exodus 20,13: 'Thou Shalt Not Kill'," Int 34 (1980): 394-99; and A. Phillips, "Another Look at Murder," JJS 28 (1977): 105-26.
