Who said anything about a slave not working to a master's satisfaction?

Look at the History of the Jews. Beating were reserved as punishment for breaking laws. What did you think would happen if a slave stole and sold all of his master's goats? what recourse would the master have? (The law said if you stole live stock you had to pay it back or become a slave) Did you think he would goto Jail? Remember the context in which the law was given (wandering the desert) And if he were to goto Jail, what of the loss the master suffered? And now has to find another slave??? Why not just keep the one you had, 'correct' the bad behaivor with a big stick, and move on?

again no jails, the only way to make things right then was slavery, but if one was already a slave and still messing up, the next stop was the stick!

What you are describing is indentured servitude. That was typically Jew on Jew indentured servitude.

WE are all talking about slavery. We are talking about conquered people being taken into chattel slavery where they were property and could be passed down as inheritance.  The Jews either committed genocide or else took the virgins as slaves.  Tell me why you think they were taking virgins only.  Tell me what you think they were doing with them.

breeding stock is what they were doing with them.

Remember the time in which you speak. their weren't 7 billion people on the planet. The survival of these people were what was being looked at.

Do you think your ancestors in that time period were not taking women or being taken themselves?

How long do you think we would survive as a species if we all maintain xenophobic tendencies, especially in that time period?
