Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

That sounds like slavery to me!
But to continue......
Exodus 21:2-6 (King James Version)(your version of choice)
2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself

So if your freed slave's wife is hot, you can keep her and their kids.

Exodus 21:20-21 (again the KJV) 20And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

So killing your slave is a no-no, but beating them ALMOST to death is just fine.

And I never once proclaimed that I know more than God did I?
