children born to slaves were treated as the master's children That applies to Hebrew slaves. What happens to the children of foreign slaves is not clearly stated, but it's the logical consequence of the rules applicable to Hebrews and foreigners. further beating slaves had consequences of letting the slave go free if he is injured If they are permanently injured. Cf Exodus 21:20-21: Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. There are no repercussions for whipping them as severely as you like as long as they recover.
