Line 30: − − == Differences Between Translations == − − === King James Version (KJV) === − The famous King James translation uses the old-fashioned wording "Thou shalt" instead of "You shall," and this wording is often used when quoting or referring to the Ten Commandments. − − Some translations, such as the King James Version and the Jerusalem Bible, translate the sixth commandment as "You shall not kill." Other translations, such as the New International Version and the New English Bible, translate the sixth commandment as "You shall not murder." This is an important point to make because some Christians will say that all war is wrong because the Bible says not to "kill." This issue is mainly a matter of conscience among Christians. A dictionary entry of the Hebrew word used in this verse is shown below: − − :::;Ratsach − :1. to murder, slay, kill − ::a. (Qal) to murder, slay − :::1. premeditated − :::2. accidental − :::3. as avenger − :::4. slayer (intentional) (participle) − ::b. (Niphal) to be slain − ::c. (Piel) − :::1. to murder, assassinate − :::2. murderer, assassin (participle)(subst) − ::d. (Pual) to be killed
