Gnomon, it was once said to me that we have the Old Testement to know where we came from. The New Testement is a New Covenent, a new way for new times.
Also, the Bible was made by human hands as an interpretation of what they felt God wanted.
The Isrialites were fighting a war at that time, trying to gain a land of their own. They were going to kill everyone who opposed their god because it gave them a reason to kill their enemies.
When the Bible says "Thou shalt not kill" it's setting down laws in the new land that God has given them. It may very well mean that you are not to kill other Isrialites, those who are living in that land.
As for contradictions in the Bible:
God is not contradictory. If there are contradictions (not to say that there are) then they are human errors.
