Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
So you can beat your slaves for your own amusement as long as you don't kill them. This is not abuse? It can't be, because you said it is bad when owners are allowed to abuse their slaves, and this is something straight from the Bible so it can't be bad.
Where does it say a owner can beat a slave for amusement?
You remove the part where I call you a retard only to ask a retarded question which you also place in the wrong quote block.
We may have differing views on rape and slavery but I think I have sufficiently demonstrated my case on your intelligence.
As for your question, we are to presume from the text the beating is typically administered if the slave is not working to the master's satisfaction. Is that any less abusive?
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
