You're welcome. Interestingly enough, it was given to the Jewish nation in a time when they themselves were slaves. It has always been an admonishment of God's, that the Jewish people would live among the nations, and that they would obey the laws of those nations. However, when the people realized that God's law transcends man's law, they would disobey that law. therefore you find Christians, both in the past and now, at the forefront in the outlawing of slavery.
You're welcome.
Thanks. I've learned on this thread that some people think that both God created the universe in 6 days and that slavery is OK with the same God.
