Understanding the Nature of Servanthood in Old Testament Slavery Laws

Old Testament slavery laws reflect a system where individuals could enter servanthood to pay off a debt voluntarily. This servanthood was temporary and not based on race. Servants, or abeds, were provided with food, shelter, rights, and protection. The laws ensured fair treatment and protection for all servants, irrespective of their origin.
