Oh no, they could beat their slaves as long as the didn't die in one or two days. Doesn't say anything about recovery. If the slave dies after a few more days, the owner is home free.

Not that these points are without import in their own proper contexts, but it would be nice if this thread didn't devolve into a criticism of Biblical law. I posed the question in the philosophy section for a reason.

Just a request is all.
