Do you not know right from wrong?
Has it ever happened that what you *felt* to be right was actually wrong or vice versa? Is it possible for our internal evaluation of morality to be wrong? Sure, there are clear cases, but is it possible to be wrong about more subtle cases?
In those cases, how do you determine what is right and what is wrong?

The one where you have to let your (fellow) hebrew slaves go after 7 years? Except of course, you give them one of your slave women to marry, and he loves her so much that he cant leave her after 7 years (she is still your property after all, as well as any potential children) and rather wants to become your slave for fucking ever?
The one where you take this poor SoB to the town elders and put an awl through his ear to mark him as your property for fucking ever and inherit him and his family to your childrens/successors? This one?
Yeah, pretty much morally authoritative and .....what was the word again....ah, yeah "maximally great".
Yeah....that's a humane form of slavery.....
