In addition to various earthly prohibitions, the sixth<ref>[[Exodus]] 20:3-17 and [[Deuteronomy]] 5:6-21</ref> of the [[Ten Commandments]] forbids murder. Note that soldiers in war are not generally considered to violate the sixth commandment, since war is lawful (in contradistinction to the definition of "murder", above.)
