We can point out all the verses in the bible, but the truth worldwide in all of antiquity is most people lived under local ruling families. And even in prior polytheism before Jews and Christians and Muslims, it was common in the age of kings to defeat rival rulers and take their land and make slaves out of the defeated.
This is the case also in India and China too when looking at human history in antiquity.
Humans worldwide lived under local rulers back then, that mistook their success as coming from a divine source, be it gods, a god, or the spirits of their ancestors as entitlement.
I don't understand your point.
It isn't just you, but people get stuck debating one religion more than others. I am talking about the entirety of human ignorance back then in all of antiquity worldwide.
Sexism and slavery were common worldwide even in prior polytheism, even in Asia. It isn't a patent owned by Christians.
The religions of antiquity were patriarchal, male dominated. Even the polytheism always had a top male figure as a deity and even female goddesses were never the top boss of all other gods.
