You're Doing it Wrong if they Die
Or, a post that could have been titled: Origins on the limits to torture:
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. (Exod. 21:20-21
Enjoy.
