there is no specificity, he didn't say "don't kill people you don't like" he didn't say "don't kill people" it says "thou shalt not kill"

everything you eat was once alive and is now dead whether by your own hand or the hand of another

if you refuse to eat you would die and in essence have killed yourself

it's always bothered me

Common sense. You're overthinking it by looking for specification where there is none. When you read "kill", your first thought is homicide.

Nearly all of the Bible texts are open for interpretation. It's intentional, and relies on common sense. A good Christian will do a rightful interpretation while a demonic entity would do a flawed interpretation. Just like the jews when they look for ways to fool God through technicalities.

The Swedes have an expression for it: "som fan läser bibeln" which means "Like the devil reads the bible", they actually use it frequently when some idiot reads a simple instruction and still manages to fail the task due to misinterpreting the instruction.

You're 100% right, also beware of (((subverted translations))) were they intentionally change words to "modernize" the language, while in reality (((they))) hope that more people will misinterpret Gods message.

Which is why the Catholic Church was 100% correct to safeguard the keeping of the bible to the Vulgate and to ensure that every village had a priest to interpret it and a copy chained down to the lectern so that everyone could read it. The Printing Press allowed any old jew and heretic to make their own, completely un-vetted "translation" and shill it to the masses as if it were somehow legitimate, and the worst offenders were those based on the (((Masoretic Text))).
