Agreed. And I didn’t realize it until I read Pastor Weld’s Bible Against Slavery. He made a case that slavery in the Old Testament was mainly like what we today call voluntary servitude. Certainly not chattel slavery as was going on in Weld’s day.
If you didn’t read that link, you should. A landowner was to manage his servants in such a way that he could trust them with everything he owns for an entire year while he was away on Sabbatical. An accurate and complete understanding of Exodus 23:11 was the foundation for Matthew 25.
