Note that the rules you quoted STILL promote and endirse slavery.
Such terms as 'If a slave is chosen to marry a son' quite categorically indicates that she had no chouce in the matter.
And the fact that it says a Hebrew slave must be released after six years and there is punishment of those who kill a slave do nothing to mitigate the slavery or the fact the bible also says how a slave can and cannot be beaten.
