That was 2000 years ago in a land far away. Why don't you go dig up the ancient Israelis and yell at them? Since they did not speak English, it will be a short conversation.HAHAHAHAHAHA! There was no English language until 400AD.

Don't tell them about slavery in Africa. Or the Americas 2,000 years ago.

 

[WinterBorn]

I don't recall any atheist complaining about slavery in the Torah. About slavery being condoned by Christinity, Judaism, and Islam.

Then, in 1861, The Czar of Russia, Alexander II, freed the Russian serfs.

The scriptures condemn rounding up people and enslaving them or mistreating people -

Indentured servitude is when a person is contracted to work for a specific number of years. The contract, called an "indenture", means a worker works for a fixed length of time, usually seven years or less).

This was also used in modern times as a way for a person to pay the cost of transportation to colonies in the Americas.
Like any loan, an indenture could be sold; - (indentured workers) services were commonly bought and sold when they arrived at their destinations. When the indenture (loan) was paid off, the worker was free. Sometimes they might be given a plot of land.

Indentured workers could usually marry, move about locally as long as the work got done and their "indentures" were paid.

but in the Bible -Indentured workers who are in debt could not expect to marry and have young children and and run up their bills increasing their debt and then just run off with their families when they have failed to fully repay their debts. Their family members - wives and children of men who were in debt were also expected to wait until the Children are grown and old enough to work - and then they would also be expected to repay their debts as adults.

what if you took in a man who was homeless, poor, in debt whom owed bills - you pay off this mans bills and he is ENDEBTED - Indentured worker - in the process of the man working for you to repay the money you paid for him - this man marries 3 or 4 wives and has 20 children - he could do this if he wanted - but now he is placing himself in further debt - and that was an option - bosses and business men who could afford to pay for their worker to raise a family, they would allow the man to build up a debt - HUGE DEBTS - in agreement that when the workers children grow up these children will work to repay the debts that their father and mother had created.


if a man marries a wife and has children and a family and the boss and landowner is feeding and paying to care for and raise the family of the indebted worker - this was an agreement and the way " MANY, MANY people lived in Israel - willingly - whole families - multiple families - would be brought up, children born - and they would be working families in agreement to pay off debt, gain financial freedom, obtain property of their own, whom they in turn would have the same benefitable situation for another family later in life when after they were able. when the children grow and begin working.

this is why Indentured workers who married wives while working to repay their debts who were -increasing their debt by creating children- and then just run off with their families when they have failed to fully repay their debts. also when a man marries a wife while repaying a debt, " AFTER HIS PERSONAL DEBTS ARE REPAID " he could not take out his wife and children out and move away as if " ALL BILLS AND DEBTS ARE PAID " these new debts and bills accumulated by the man creating a family on the Job, these bills and debts are also owed,.
