People have to keep in mind that as awful as slavery is and has always been, this was still a huge step up in morality for those times.
I don't believe in a literal interpretation of the OT, but I can see the point trying to be made here. God had to work with what He had and progress from there.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
