I haven't done any great study myself, but remember reading a study
that seemed to assert that "slavery" often mentioned in the Bible is
poorly interpreted from multiple roots, where sometimes it means out
and out slavery as we are used to the definition, while other times it
is referring to indentured servants of some sort as Rob described.
However, even "slavery" as it relates to the Israelites in Egypt
doesn't have equal connotation to the slavery we think of from our
country's history. They were more like a usurped or conquered nation.
