Can a slave retire and buy/own land from money he has earned as his time as a slave? can your idea of a slave work for someone for say 20 years for a parcial of land? Can a slave goto medical school for a term of service as a slave to become a doctor, and once that term is up be freed to work however they see fit?
No, you say? well I guess the definition of the word slave has changed, because these things happened.
You are conflating indentured servitude, also deemed to be immoral by the way, and slavery in a slimy attempt to keep your God from being held accountable for his explicit approval of slavery.
I'll even use your pet book to illustrate the difference:
Indentured Servitude (what you keep going on about):
“If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves. They are to be treated as hired workers or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee. Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property of their ancestors. Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves. Do not rule over them ruthlessly, but fear your God” – Leviticus 25:39-43
Slavery:
“Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.” - Leviticus 25:44-46
There's no excuse for this shit Drich, none.
