From Albert Barnes commentary:
You are dodging. I'm not interested in commentary. Is this the word of God?
Exodus 21:20-21: "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property"
Exodus 20:20-21 is the word of God.
The Literal translation of the verse is more like this:
`And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid, with a rod, and he hath died under his hand--he is certainly avenged; only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged, for he is his money. (Exo 21:20-21 YLT)
Do you believe any of the Bible? If so, on what authority do you pick and choose verses that you believe are not the Inspired Word of God?
Is your Moral sense better than that of the God of Moses?
Do you believe in the God of Moses?
