Two Hebrew words are used to mean 'kill' in two different ways. The one in the Ten Commandments refers to meditated murder of another human being, The other can mean killing done as capital punishment, acts of war, or self-defense.
Where does killing due to paranoid delusion fall?
I'm pretty sure most of those "witches" were merely the falsely accused or simply people who didnt fit the social norms.
Either way, you'd think the "Thou shalt not kill" commandment would have given their Christian executioners some pause.
