Leviticus 25:45 explicitly states that foreign slaves are property, directly supporting the rationale here: 'for he is his property.'

Leviticus 25:46 affirms that foreign slaves are inheritable property, reinforcing the property basis for the legal principle here.

Leviticus 19:20 deals with a slave woman's legal status, limiting punishment because she is not free — the same property logic used here when a servant survives a beating.

In Job 31:13, Job claims he never ignored his servants' complaints — a higher standard than the law here, which allows masters to escape punishment if the servant lingers.
