"Slavery" in Israel was an indentured servitude, not slavery as the term is usually understood.
1) An unemployed person could sell six years of his life and do tasks which the householder requested.
2) A thief who was unable to make restitution, could be made to work it off.
In both cases:
a) It is forbidden to hit a servant for any reason.
b) Hitting a servant would incur heavy punishment.
c) The servant must be given hefty gifts when he departs (Deuteronomy ch.15).
d) The householder must by law provide the servant with accommodations and food of the same quality as those of the family.
e) The servant is "off duty" during Sabbaths and holidays.
f) The householder must provide financial support to the family of the servant.
g) It is forbidden to overwork the servant or make unreasonable demands.
h) It is forbidden to embarrass the servant.
i) The servant is at all times under the protection of the court, who may intervene on his behalf.
