'''You must not take away human life.'''
*We must tolerate ''nothing'' that destroys or denigrates life; we must do ''everything'' that promotes and encourages life.
*As with the other commands, this command represents an entire "category" of ''attitudes'' and ''actions''.

This command is necessary because humans were made "in the [[image of God]]". It is a sin against humans; but more importantly, ''it is a sin against God''. This is why God requires the civil authorities to put to death any person (or animal) that commits this sin.
:(This punishment does not apply to ''accidental'' deaths, self-defense, etc. [[Exodus 21:12-36]] and [[Exodus 22:1-15]] give examples of how to deal with such situations. The passages show how to distinguish between murder and other types of situations in which one person might cause another to die.)

This command, prohibiting willful (or malicious) killing, represents an entire category of actions. The "negative side" of this command includes things, such as:
*Instances in which a person dies - whether intentionally or not.
*Actions that express a desire for death of someone (such as [[Curses (and Their Nature)|cursing one's parents]]); or actions which effectively destroy a person, though they are still alive (such as kidnapping).
*Attitudes (such as hatred).
*Situations involving animals - humans killing animals, animals killing humans, animals killing animals.

The "positive side" of this command includes things such as:
*Encouraging and building-up others.

*See also [[Genocide]] - and - [[Murder, Bloodshed]].
