Exodus 21:20-21 "When a slave owner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished. But if the slave survives a day or two, there is no punishment; for the slave is the owner's property."
Here is where I have issues with taking these words as "the" word of God. That is just cruel, the not-so-good book does permit these terrible things.
Exodus 21:26 "When a slave owner strikes the eye of a male or female slave, destroying it, the owner shall let the slave go, a free person, to compensate for the eye."
Well gee thanks. What if my eye isn't destroyed when you strike it? no freedom?
-I'd rather have my tooth knocked out than my eye. I don't know why the compensation (freedom) is the same.
