Sooo...was the hardness of their hearts also the reason Gaud drew the line at knocking out eyes and teeth? You realize they could beat their slaves pretty much to death and get away with it as long as it took a day or two for them to die, right? And if he legalized divorce and slave-beating because it was a "practical concession," why didn't he give practical concessions for non-violent activities that occur between consenting, naked adults? Why do those people get killed with rocks?

It almost seems as if the biblical laws were written by a bunch of intensely patriarchal men who owned slaves...hmmm...
Seems unlikely to me that such people acting on their own would give their slaves every seventh day off.
