You shall not murder or You shall not kill, KJV Thou shalt not kill (LXX Template:Lang, translating Hebrew Template:Lang Template:Lang), is a moral imperative included as one of the Ten Commandments in the Torah, specifically Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17.
The imperative is against unlawful killing resulting in bloodguilt. The Hebrew Bible contains numerous prohibitions against unlawful killing, but also allows for justified killing in the context of warfare, capital punishment and self-defence.
