Slavery in a Biblical sense was very different than what we think of today. Actually Biblical slavery was voluntary, or as restitution for a crime. Also, the "master" was to allow a "slave" to leave, if the slave "ran away," and not pursue him. If a person wanted to be a lifelong slave to one "master," and the "master" agreed, the "master" was to pierce the ear of the slave with an awl in front of witnesses. (a pierced ear on a man is a sign of slavery) This also meant that the "master" would protect the slave and his family. In ancient times, it was actually very beneficial to be a "slave" to a powerful family; better than being poor and destitute. They also had "indentured servants" as well. But this is all way too above your brain to comprehend.
