Slavery in the Hebrew Bible

Slavery in the Hebrew Bible is equivocal: it is bad, freedom from it is good, but there are laws that call for humane treatment of slaves and that put a variety of limitations on slavery. Write about this dual, perhaps contradictory, approach to slavery in the biblical world. (some examples to include: Exodus 21: 1-11, 20-21, 26-27, 32; Leviticus 25:39-55; Deuteronomy 15:12-18; Deuteronomy 23: 16-17) – extended research can also be used.
