6 seems pretty restrictive. I can't imagine ancient societies thinking capital punishment or killing in war was wrong.

I believe it was the "Lincoln Project" who posted a video showing how Trump has broken each of the 10.

That’s what cracks me up. I saw the video and it’s a bit of a stretch… but nonetheless, Trump exhibits SO many anti-Christian behaviors it’s remarkable how many church going folks put him on a pedestal. Lying, boastful, prideful, stealing, adultery, etc.

That would have been the word used in the Septuagint in Exodus 20:13. Which also is the shortest commandment.
KJV translated it as "kill". It's actually "murder".
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

If it’s any help, the Hebrew is “murder”. “ Kill”would be a different verb as it is in English.

Murder is something I've always tried to avoid taking part in. We actually didn't need a sign up at our school to point out that this was frowned upon, but I guess you chaps might need more of a reminder, what with everything.
Maybe there should be a lot more signs. 'Thou shalt not pee in they pants!', 'Thou shalt not fiddle about with thyself, even whilst ye attractive Miss Walsh is teaching thee ye olde trigonometree'
It couldn't hurt, right?

Yet the Louisiana law uses the word "kill" anyway.

That the Louisiana legislature deliberately mean "kill" rather than "murder" in the law.

@Doctor-Phibes that was Ax-like in its missing of the point.

Well, these guys are focusing on the apparent mis-translation of the original text by renowned witch-obsessed Scottish homosexual King James I, so I figured any old bollocks was open to discussion.

After being educated by Advisory Opinions….
The case isn’t as much of a slam dunk as I thought because the praying football coach case did strike down the old ‘Lemon test’ (named for a court case) that had invalidated similar laws in the past.
Both Sarah and David think Louisiana loses in the end though. And if they win a similar law replacing the Ten Commandments with the five pillars of Islam would also be allowed.
Go to about 41:30 in the most recent AO if you’re interested in details.

@bachophile Ok, question : Do we really know what the vowels are in ancient Hebrew?

Vowels are a later addition

I can’t say if Biblical Hebrew sounded the same, but the text is readily apparent and understandable
