Yahweh: Masters, slaves are your property. You are free to beat them as long as they don't die within two days

"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."
Exodus 21:20-21

"A slave will not be instructed by words alone; For though he understands, there will be no response."
Proverbs 29:19
