41 This plirase, under his hand, may throw some light on the instruction of the angel to Hagar, when he tells her to submit herself under the hands of her mistress. It undoubtedly implies the use of the hands in severe correction. Here, we see ex- tremely violent whipping; and, if death follow, immediately, the master shall be punished, to what extent, the law does not define. But, if the slave survive the beating a day or two, the manslayer goes with impunity — " he shall not be punished. " Th...e reason of this law of impunity is stated — "for he is his money. ' It is presumed, that the interest of the master will be, in ordinary cases, a sufficient guarantee to the safety of his own purchased slave. An appeal is made to the same source of protection in ver. 26th and 27th, where we are told, that if a master knock out a tooth or an eye of his servant, he shall manu- mit him: his freedom is the master's punishment. Thomas Clarkson, in Pt. I. Ch. Iv, gives a short, and cer- tainly not over-wrought account, of the cruelties practiced upon slaves.
