And one of them is simply "you shall not murder", but... but... what did god do with all the plagues he sent down on Egypt, particularly the one with all the firstborns, if not murdering?

What sort of moral authority does such a being have to tell his "children" not to murder when that's exactly what he did a couple of pages back?!

The Command is you shall not Murder.

The difference between killing and murder?

Authorization. If God authorizes the taking of human life it is not a murder, because He holds the right to all life in His hands.
