The Ba’al HaTurim translates this as Thou Shall Not Kill. Aside from the literal meaning, there is an essense to the commandment, much closer to the Ba’al HaTurim’s understanding.

This is news to me. I have never heard any Jewish publication ever say that it’s “kill” & not “murder”, since Judaism has the death penalty, however near-impossible it is to actually use it.
