Quote:If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. Exodus 21:1-4
Sounds like forcing slaves to obey to me. "You can go free, but you must leave your wife/children behind, they're stuck with me."
Quote:If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. Exodus 21:20-21
Why did they beat slaves? For fun?
Quote:Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18
Do you know what submit means? OBEY!
Want me to go on? I can. I can go on all day.
