Leviticus 25
39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
what context makes it okay? Let put this in a modern context so we can form a better picture.
Let's say that there is a homeless guy standing on the side of a road holding a sign.. "Will work for food". And in this scenario, lets say a farmer who needs a farmhand approaches the Guy and inquires about why he's down on his luck. The homeless guy replies that he lost his home in the housing bubble crash, and between that and credit cards he is about $140,000 in debt. So the farmer offers him a deal\contract to pay off his debt + free room and board, to come work at his farm for the next 7 years. you somehow find that immoral? sounds win win to me.
That is not the same as slavery. That is nothing at all like slavery. This homeless guy is not owned as property to be passed on to the farmers decedents. The farmer is banned (by law) from beating the guy. And the homeless guy can leave whenever he wants.

Huggy74: "But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee"
Bad Wolf: "Don't play semantics with me. They were slaves."
Huggy74 "except that the KJV doesn't use the word "slave""
Bad Wolf:"Is that all you are reduced to? Pathetic word games?"
Huggy74"they were paid a pittance."
Bad Wolf:"Its irrelevant how much they were paid. They were servants, not slaves."
LOL man, pure comedy.
How fucking dare you. That is not how the conversation went. You have purposefully misrepresented my position and manipulated the text. Mods are you seeing this? Fucking pathetic.

Follow that link there. You aren't getting away with that you dishonest prick. When you said that they were paid a pittance, we were talking about servants in the 17th century
It really speaks volumes about how desperate this jackass is when he needs to literally manipulate the past conversations in an attempt to ridicule me. You thought you were gunna get away with that? You fucking bastard.
