I thought the Jubilee was every 50 years, but I am too lazy to look it up right now. However on slavery, the Bible acknowledges its presence in that culture and seeks to help those who find themselves in it and admonishes those who own slaves to treat them well. And it admonishes those in Christ to treat slaves as equals. "In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female." Christianity elevated the individual above the culture's racism and sexism.
