taking a life

¹³You shall not murder.

⁶Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.

¹²Whoever strikes a man, intending to murder, shall be put to death.

⁹For example: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not speak false testimony. You shall not covet. And if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

¹⁵Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding within him.

²¹You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.’ ²²But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell.

¹²Whoever strikes a man, intending to murder, shall be put to death. ¹³But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God delivered him into his hands, then I will appoint for you a place to which he must flee. ¹⁴If someone murders his neighbor with deliberation, by lying in wait, you shall tear him away from my altar, so that he may die.

¹⁷You shall not murder.

⁷And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

¹⁶Six things there are that the Lord hates, and the seventh, his soul detests: ¹⁷haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

⁸But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.”

¹⁷Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

¹¹But if anyone, having hatred for his neighbor, will have lain in ambush for his life, and, rising up, will have struck him, and he will have died, and if he will have fled to one of the cities stated above, ¹²the elders of his city shall send, and they shall take him from the place of refuge, and they shall deliver him into the hand of the relative of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die. ¹³You shall not take pity on him, and so shall you take away the blood of the innocent from Israel, so that it may be well with you.

¹¹Rescue those who are led away to death. And do not cease from delivering those who are dragged away to a violent death.

¹¹discern which cities ought to be for the protection of fugitives who have shed blood unwillingly. ¹²And when a fugitive is in these, the kinsman of the deceased shall not be able to kill him, until he stands in the sight of the multitude and his case is judged. ¹³Then, among those cities which are separated for relief to fugitives, ¹⁴three shall be across the Jordan, and three in the land of Canaan, ¹⁵as much for the sons of Israel as for newcomers and sojourners, so that anyone who has shed blood unwillingly may flee to these places. ¹⁶If anyone will have struck someone with iron, and he who was struck will have died, then he shall be guilty of homicide, and he himself shall die.

¹⁸He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said: “You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony.
