Moses killed the Egyptian before god called him to lead the people, to the promised land.
It was written in the Ten Commandments. Right before thou shalt not kill.
The ten commandments #6 Thou shalt not kill
it is one of the 10 commandments in the Christian faith. :)
This happened for the exact reason revealed in the question. Moses' anger rose when he saw the scourging of his kinsman. He then looked this way and that before taking the action to kill the taskmaster and protect his kinsman.
In the laws of Moses the penalty for murder and adultery was being stoned to death (Numbers 35:16, Leviticus 20:10). A number of translations of the Ten Commandments interpret 'Thou shalt not kill' as 'Thou shalt not murder' which has quite a different meaning. For example, NIV uses 'murder' in place of 'kill' in its translation (Exodus 20:13). By this definition of kill vs murder, the state (or Moses and the Levites under his direction) would have the authority to kill people as a result of high crimes as defined in the laws.
The covenant is that if a man wishes to please God and to receive his salvation he will covenant with God to keep all of the commandments. One must also remember that the actual written covenants are but a guide, for their meaning goes much deeper than we imagine. Thou shalt not kill also means thou shall not think of killing. All of the commandments have added to them that to even think of breaking them is as bad as the actual act of breaking them
no
Moses killed the Egyptian , as he saw that he was mistreating the Israelite slave.
You are a murderer no matter who it is you kill or what that person has done. Its against God to kill. To kill is breaking the Ten Commandments!
As a child Moses was said to have beaten his small town Mayor to death with a rock.
"Thou shall not kill" in the Ten Commandments is a prohibition against unjustifiable homicide. It is meant to convey the value of human life and discourage murder as an act that violates the sanctity of life. This commandment is intended to promote peace, respect, and the protection of all individuals.
Yes. In fact it is often used as an example of how man tries to fulfill God's plan for him in his own power and fails. Moses had to be humbled in the desert and learn to trust God before he could fulfill the plan to free his people from Egypt. Edit: Yes, if you kill someone, that is a sin. Even if that person deserved it.
