God loves slaves

Act 2 sc. 1 Page 47

Pete: "The bible also advocates slavery."

Exodus 21:1-6

When thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in bt himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out by himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

Exodus 21:20-21

And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, witha rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.


Leviticus 25:44-46

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. 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 possesion; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
