> In biblical contexts, “murder” (Hebrew: רָצַח, ratsach) specifically refers to the intentional and premeditated taking of a human life, often with malice (Numbers 35:22-25). “Kill” (Hebrew: הָרַג, harag) can refer to both intentional and unintentional taking of life.

The English language has changed a lot over the years, without any expertise in the older versions I'd take a wild guess and say the older text refers to what we today call "murder", basically killing with intent, for no valid reason.
Self defense if unprovoked must be allowed. If you kill someone while defending yourself it's usually accidental, if we're looking back to the old days before deadly weapons such as firearms. Hence no intent.
It’s “thou shalt not murder.”
