Detailed explanation-1: -Slavery is viewed as routine, an ordinary part of society. Male Israelite slaves were to be released, and well provided for, after six years of service. Non-Hebrew slaves and their offspring were the perpetual property of the owner’s family, with limited exceptions.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the latest Global Estimates of Modern Slavery (2022) from Walk Free, the International Labour Organization and the International Organization for Migration: 49.6 million people live in modern slavery – in forced labour and forced marriage. Roughly a quarter of all victims of modern slavery are children.
Detailed explanation-3: -Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence–actual or threatened. People, black and white, lived together within these parameters, and their lives together took many forms.
