Although the Hebrew meanings are the same, why does Leviticus 25:39-46 make a clear distinction between Hebrew and gentile servants? Hebrew servants are not to be treated as property, it must be voluntary, and they must be freed at the year of Jubilee. But Gentile servants can be purchased as property, can have their children passed through the masters family as lifelong “servants”, can be beaten and inch within their life and will not be freed at the year of jubilee.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this entire video was? It seemed to boil down to your statement near the end that "ebed" essentially means worker. And to insinuate that those Bibles that translate that as slave in some places are mistranslating it. Which simply isn't true. The reason for which is evidently coming up in the next video. Here's the Concordance of the meaning of the word. Ebed can mean many things in English. Servant, hired worker, subject, bond servant or indentured servant, official, officer or slave. That's right, eved CAN mean slave. It just depends on who you're talking about. If the Bible is talking about your maid that you pay to clean your house everyday, then ebed is going to be translated as "Maidservant". If it's talking about the man you hired and pay to work in your fields everyday, then ebed is going to be translated as "Manservant". Essentially workers. BUT, if it's talking about someone you own as property, that you purchased with money, that you don't pay, and that you own him, and all the children after him generation after generation, then ebed is going to be translated as "slave". Why? Because that's what they were. These people were chattel slaves by definition. You can't eliminate slavery from the Bible by simply arguing that they were really just servants anymore than you can eliminate slavery in America by simply calling them servants. And you said that Israel sometimes took prisoners of war as slaves in their wars as? No they didn't. The Bible is explicit here. All the men were to be killed. The prisoners of war that the Israelites owned as slaves were captured in OTHER nations wars and then sold to Israel as slaves. So I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from. Unless you're talking about female sex slavery? Regardless, this is simply incorrect.

Both are bad, and both Hebrew slaves and foreign slaves were in bondage. But foreigners were treated much worse, because they weren’t enslaved to pay off a debt and they were enslaved for life. So yes, slavery practiced by the ancient Israelites was exactly the same as the Atlantic slave trade.

bible slavery is the owning of another person as property.
