Slavery in the Bible

"Does the Bible condone slavery?" The Bible does not specifically condemn the practice of slavery. It gives instructions on how slaves should be treated, and laws masters must abide. Masters had to pay slaves, and also respect slaves. There was a time period that a slave can be a slaveholder. " If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free"(Deuteronomy 15:12). People fail to understand that slavery in Biblical times was different from the slavery that was practiced in the past few centuries in many parts of the world. The slavery in the Bible was not based exclusively on race. People were not enslaved because of their nationality or the color of their skin. In Bible times, slavery was more of a social status.
