Gods Laws - Concerning Slaves
It should be obvious you can’t keep all the laws, but these laws are not done away with only the sacrificial laws and their related rituals. My goal is only to make the laws available to you. Your goal is to keep the laws as best you can, especially the one that apply to you.
Hebrew slaves must be treated according to the special Laws for them.
Exod 21:2-6 2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve, and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3 If he came in by himself, he shale go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himself. 5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go out free: 6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges, he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an aule, and he shall serve him for euer. KJV 1611
If the owner or his son does not marry his Hebrew maidservant he must allow her father to redeem her.
Exod 21:8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: To sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. KJV 1611
The owner or his son may marry his Hebrew maidservant.
Exod 21:8-9 8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: To sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. 9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. KJV 1611
The regulation of the foreign slaves.
Lev 25:44-46 44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bond-maids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the Heathen, that are round about you: of them shall ye buy bondmen and bond-maids. 45 Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession, they shall bee your bondmen for euer: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor. KJV 1611

Brother John to the spirit of this verse Lev 25:44-46 is saying that Hebrews can own slaves but Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Like there neighbor's, the Ammonites "ASIAN", Moabites "CHINESE", Edomites "WHITE", and The Syrians "BLACK."
While doing some research I found it interesting that Ruth was a Moabite and she was King David's great grandmother, and she was mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew chapter one.
