Exodus 22:2

2“If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;

2If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no guilt for bloodshed on his account.

2“If a thief is caught breaking in [after dark] and is struck [by the owner] so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him.

2If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.

2If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.

2If a thiefe bee founde breaking vp, and be smitten that he dye, no blood shall be shed for him.

2If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

2“Suppose you catch a thief breaking into your house at night. And suppose you hit the thief and the thief dies. Then you are not guilty of murder.

2Perhaps someone may catch a robber as he goes into another person's house. The owner of the house might knock down the robber so that he dies. If this happens at night, the owner of the house is not guilty of murder.

2If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
