'Slaves' in the Bible
They are not to be sold as slaves, because they are My slaves that I brought out of the land of Egypt.
Your male and female slaves are to be from the nations around you; you may purchase male and female slaves.
You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But concerning your brothers, the Israelites, you must not rule over one another harshly.
For the Israelites are My slaves. They are My slaves that I brought out of the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.
