Responce: Here's how as one of the Christians on the site about capital punshiment stated. The Hebrew word used for killing (harag) is not used but rather a more specific term for murder(ratsach). A more proper translation would be thou shall not murder. An eye for an eye... reflected that a person commiting a crime would recieve just punishment for whatever he did. In other words if I robbed a candy store then I don't deserve death, however if I murder someone then I do. Get it.
