Under God's law, why was it okay to beat your slave as long as you didn't kill them? Ex 21:20
-
Because the slave owner bought them with their own money

Because slaves work harder when they get a good beating

Because slaves were meant to be beaten from the beginning of time
Correct Answer
A. Because the slave owner bought them with their own moneyExplanation
The correct answer suggests that it was considered acceptable to beat a slave as long as they were not killed because the slave owner had purchased the slave with their own money. This implies that since the slave was considered the property of the owner, they had the right to treat them as they saw fit, as long as they did not cause their death. This explanation reflects the historical context where slavery was prevalent and viewed as a form of ownership and control over other human beings.Rate this question:
