that is why it is said:

that is better translated
Bill haven't said "it definitely means only", and better translated implied "due to context". If all killing were prohibited, why did Christ ordered Roman soldier to serve in the army and perform his duties? For soldier's duties is killing of people. as Saruman puts it, when rebuking Eomer at his door:

"Slay whom your master names as foes"

so your bone is broken in the case [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I do not know Hebrew though, so have to rely on your word in the case (which I do gladly).

I have to add though that Georgian transaltion, which dates back as far as IV AD gives word kvla which now may be used for the slain in battle too, but back than beared a meaining of "killing on purpose", which is murder as far as I can see
