Look in the dictionary.

Hey thanks. slave/slāv/
Noun:
A person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.

We know that the servants or slaves of the OT were owned as legal property, but we do not know if they were forced to obey.

So it doesn't seem like we have enough info to call it slavery. And we have some info that suggests otherwise such as that found in Deuteronomy 23:15-16 for example.
