Exodus 21

[Drich]

All of them did as again verse 21 among others greatly restricted the volume any tye of punishment an owner could dole out. so rather than be beaten or stoned themselves all owners made sure they were indeed right with the law first..

Again without God, nothing your ancestors did regulated the treatment of slaves in this era. God and his followers were insane minority radicals for their beliefs and insanely good treatment of slaves, or so YOUR PEOPLE THOUGHT in this very same apples to apples comparative era.

Really? All? So no slave was ever beaten to death? Ever? Get a grip

I think you missed the point completely.

before this passage in lev. slaves had no regulations protecting them or establishing any rights.

The OP mocks God for being 'loving' because he placed rules on slavery rather than abolished it.

The problem? we do not have a working model of a society not based on a slave class. Meaning society for the jews or anyone else would fail without slavery. (if you do not think this is the case then name one society that has been established without a slave's as it foundation.) Slavery is critical to every society.

Then the op mockes presumably the idea of an all loving God. which one the bible never claims, and two the op wrongfully assumes being a slave is to be unloved. enter the law that is being mocked. the first of it's kind to give slaves any real rights or protection. Yes slaves were killed before, because they had no rights there was no repercussions aside from what the law said you owed the owner of said slave. if you were the owner then you were just out the money paid for the slave.

Now with the law penalties beatings and prison time were on the table for violating slave rights. did slaves die yes.. but not without inquiry and or repercussions..
