No it doesn't, it says if you harm them to the extent that they lose part of their body they can get their freedom.

Depends on if the slave dies on the day after the beating doesn't it.
If the slave is beaten so badly it dies quickly or beating it so it dies not so quickly are differentiated.
Makes sense really as having a slave die two days after a beating could just be put down to normal wear and tear.
