Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Leviticus 25:45, Leviticus 25:46
Reciprocal: Genesis 37:27 - sell him Exodus 23:9 - thou shalt not Leviticus 19:20 - she shall be scourged Job 31:13 - the cause
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two,.... And does not die immediately, or the same day, but lives twenty four hours, as the Jewish writers interpret it; so Abendana x explains the phrase, "a day or two";
"a day which is as two days, and they are twenty four hours from time to time,''
that is, from the time he was smitten to the time of his continuance; and so it is elsewhere explained y by a day we understand a day, which is like two days, that is, from time to time, the meaning of which is, from a certain time in one day to the same in another:
he shall not be punished; that is, with death;
for he [is] his money; is bought with his money, and is good as money, and therefore it is a loss sufficient to him to lose him; and it may be reasonably thought he did not smite his servant with an intention to kill him, since he himself is the loser by it.
x Not. in Miclol Yophi in loc. y Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Zabim, c. 2. sect. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Jewish authorities appear to be right in referring this law, like those in Exodus 21:26-27, Exodus 21:32, to foreign slaves (see Leviticus 25:44-46). The protection here afforded to the life of a slave may seem to us but a slight one; but it is the very earliest trace of such protection in legislation, and it stands in strong and favorable contrast with the old laws of Greece, Rome, and other nations. If the slave survived the castigation a day or two, the master did not become amenable to the law, because the loss of the slave was accounted, under the circumstances, as a punishment.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 21:21. If the slave who had been beaten by his master died under his hand, the master was punished with death; see Genesis 9:5-6. But if he survived the beating a day or two the master was not punished, because it might be presumed that the man died through some other cause. And all penal laws should be construed as favourably as possible to the accused.
