Again without God, nothing your ancestors did regulated the treatment of slaves in this era. God and his followers were insane minority radicals for their beliefs and insanely good treatment of slaves, or so YOUR PEOPLE THOUGHT in this very same apples to apples comparative era.
So you've studied the laws concerning slaves in other Mesopotamian cultures in the 1st millenium BC? Great. I'm interested in that subject as well. Feel free to provide references to the laws that they had. Your absolute claims like "all of them did" and "nothing my ancestors did" make me suspicious though.

The first 2 shows no hold bard in the realm of slavery in their culture the third reference shows where a code primary used to discern a slaves worth was the only law or earliest code to be found on the books for any ancient civilization as such during this period of 2100bc and 500ad page 14 forward shows a table of law meaning it shows a crime and punishment against slave free and high class. the only reason slaves are in this table of law crime and punishment is to know how much to compensate someone if you injure or kill their slave or what another man owes you if your slave wrongs him.. punishment of the slave is mention on page 12 and 13 often being so high that it was not possible to carry out the sentence.
