Yes, a very small step up. still quite backwards by moral standards. So what's to keep us from claiming the whole book is allegorical then? Including the character of Jesus?
But if you want to talk about Jesus, then we can go with him telling slaves to obey even cruel masters, or telling people to hate their families. That he came not to bring peace, but a sword. The whole reason he told people to love their enemies, is because he thought the world was going to end in a generation or two. So forgive your enemies, sell all your belongings, and leave your families behind.
