In Exodus 22, it explains that if a homeowner kills a thief at night, he would not be guilty. But what happens if the thief gets killed after sunrise?
Answer The homeowner would be guilty of murder
It's hard to believe, but the homeowner was guilty of killing a thief in the day. Why? There's no explanation given, but mostly likely it's because at night it's hard to see who is carrying what and how many are present. Daytime can be handled with a simple "get out of here, you thief!"
