Instead of answering his own question (were they chattel in perpetuity?), he goes off on tangents about xenophobia and the ever-present moral relativism of comparing chattel slavery in Israel with chattel slavery in the Americas. <br /><br />He excuses it with Deut. 24:17, which says they should not pervert justice for aliens, but this ignores that the "justice" in Israel was different for aliens than it was for Jews. There was no need to "pervert justice," when "justice" said foreigners could be bought as chattel slaves and kept for life.

No mention of working off a debt or being set free after a time. This seems to be glossed over. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888967719050944845noreply@blogger.com
