The Body As Property: Physical Disfigurement in Biblical Law - the Library of Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Studies
Sandra Jacobs
This book indicates that physical disfigurement functioned in biblical law to verify legal property acquisition. This is primarily substantiated in the accounts of prescriptive disfigurements: namely circumcision and the piercing of a slave's ear, both of which were required only when a son, or slave, was acquired permanently.
