The Bible's Stance on Slavery

This chapter of the podcast episode discusses various passages from the Bible that mention slavery. The speaker talks about how the Ten Commandments mention not coveting your neighbor's property, including slaves, and how man-servant and maid-servant basically refer to male and female slaves. They also mention a law in Exodus where a Hebrew servant can choose to serve their master forever, and another passage that justifies beating slaves as long as they don't die immediately.
