[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession for ever; you may make slaves of them, but over your brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness." -Leviticus 25:44-46</blockquote> You're probably think ing of Hebrew slaves, who were to be released after six years of service. But that didn't apply to foreign slaves. It seems the only "rights" slaves had were that their masters weren't allowed to kill them (unless the master beat the slave so badly that the slave died, but not for a day or two; that's okay), poke their eyes out, or knock their teeth out.
