And what scripture specifies these concepts?

As far as I know, the scriptures do not differentiate between 'kill' and 'murder'. The commandment is 'Thou shall not kill', not 'Thou shall not kill.... (fine print)...'

If it had been spoken exactly like that in English, it would be a simple matter, and you might be correct. However, it wasn't, and you aren't.

I don't have a Hebrew Dictionary nearby, but I can tell you that the original word more closely translates to our word "murder." Were it not so, it would not be consistent with the lawful instruction to take disobedient children out of the city and stone them to death. It would also not be consistent with God's instructions to his people to slay all those who resided in Jericho. There are other examples that make it clear that the intent of the commandment was NOT to prohibit any killing whatsoever.

Sometimes you SHOULD read the fine print.
