Regarding "Thou shalt not kill"

שו"תRegarding "Thou shalt not kill"
שאל לפני שנה 1

I am still in the story of Yitro and the Ten Commandments. I have a few questions if you allow me:
"Thou shalt not murder" is a universal and binding categorical commandment in every situation, and is imposed on every person regardless of their halakhic commitment. The fact that "Thou shalt not murder" appears as a halakhic commandment (one of the Ten Commandments) means that it comes to promote religious values. What is that halakhic dimension (which concerns Jews only) that is not included in the categorical commandment?
In the context of halachic statements, you distinguish between a normative statement that cannot be changed and a factual statement whose validity can change if the situation changes. In light of this, "You shall not murder" is a normative halachic. Is it possible to say that the halachic "whoever comes to kill you, hurry to kill him" is a factual statement and not a normative one? I want to be precise about the fact that the statement is "whoever comes to kill you" and not "whoever comes to kill you, hurry to kill him" because "You shall not murder" is a categorical command and therefore is also normative. Does that seem right to you?
And finally, what is the legal status of blood atonement or blood revenge, since from the perspective of the categorical imperative they are murder?

You are waiting for an answer to a question that I cannot answer. I do not know what the religious purposes for which the commandments are intended. Not pork, not tefillin, and not murder. But the commandment "Thou shalt not murder" is meant to say that there is a religious problem in murder, not just a moral one. That is why there is this commandment. By the way, there are also differences in the scope of the prohibition. It is a fact that in terms of "Thou shalt not murder" there are indirect forms in which you do not violate it halachically, even though morally you are strictly a murderer (gramma, med mir deb ber hashes, suf hema va'ba, meser, etc.). I didn't understand the question about the one who will kill you. Give an example and formulate a precise question. Their status is indeed moral murder, even if halachically the status is different. What is the question?
