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.
Quote: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.Not necessarily. I have a rule that my kids should not use any of my power tools, or cook, or fight. This is for their own protection. However I don't apply those rules to myself.
As I said, I'm not disputing that the bears thing is immoral, inconsistent, capricious and just plain messed up. But not for those two reasons.
