You know perfectly well that A: the commandment is more accurately translated as murder, and B: it makes no sense for rules which God gave us to be applicable to him. The story is fucked up, but in this particular its not internally inconsistent.
A: If I sicced bears on children for making fun of my (non-existent) baldness, I'd be charged with murder.
B: It makes perfect sense for the rules to apply to him as well as ourselves. If the maker of the rules doesn't himself follow them, it sets a bad example and provides no positive incentive for the rule to be followed.
