The God of the Bible condones and promotes chattel slavery. Chattel slavery is defined as "the enslaving and owning of human beings and their offspring as property, able to be bought, sold, and forced to work. Another definition is: "The condition in which one person is owned as property by another and is under the owner's control, especially in involuntary servitude." Leviticus 25 explicitly describes and condones chattel slavery. "44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour." Under Mosaic law, foreign slaves were chattel slaves. They could be bought, sold, separated from their families, beaten, raped, killed, kept for life, and passed down as inherited property. Every specific reference to foreign slaves in the Bible is to deny them rights and protections afforded to Hebrew slaves. The treatment of foreign slaves was every bit as bad, or worse, than slavery in the Antebellum south.
Biblical Overview of Slavery: Old Testament Laws Regarding Slavery: Leviticus 25:44-46 describes the permissible ownership of foreign slaves, who could be inherited and kept permanently. However, it differentiates between the treatment of foreign slaves and Hebrew slaves, the latter of whom were to be released after six years (Exodus 21:2). Exodus 21:16 strictly prohibits kidnapping and selling a person, which was punishable by death. This reflects a boundary against forced enslavement. Deuteronomy 15:12-15 requires that Hebrew slaves be freed after six years of service and provided with resources to start an independent life. Treatment of Slaves: Exodus 21:20-21 allows for the disciplining of slaves but mandates punishment if a slave is killed from mistreatment, showing there were legal protections against severe abuse. Deuteronomy 23:15-16 commands that escaped slaves should not be returned to their masters and should be allowed to live freely, indicating some degree of autonomy and protection for slaves within Israelite society. New Testament Teachings on Slavery: Galatians 3:28 underscores that, spiritually, there is neither “slave nor free” in Christ, pointing towards a recognition of equality among believers. Philemon 1:15-16 includes Paul’s appeal to Philemon to receive his former slave, Onesimus, as a brother rather than a servant, indicating a shift towards relational equality within the Christian community. Colossians 4:1 instructs slave owners to treat their slaves justly and fairly, reminding them that they, too, have a Master in heaven, thus placing a moral responsibility on the slave owner. Moral Restrictions on Enslavement: 1 Timothy 1:10 condemns "enslavers," highlighting that forcefully acquiring and trading people was against sound doctrine. This passage aligns with the prohibition of kidnapping in Exodus, suggesting that forced slavery was not accepted. In summary, the Bible includes various regulations regarding slavery, particularly aimed at ensuring certain rights and protections for slaves within the context of ancient societies. The New Testament focuses on spiritual equality and moral obligations towards fair treatment, suggesting that those who are in Christ are spiritually equal, regardless of social status.
