Isn’t this interesting on slavery.
Duet 23:15 “… “You shall not give up to his master a slave who has escaped from his master to you. He shall dwell with you, in your midst, in the place that he shall choose within one of your towns, wherever it suits him. You shall not wrong him…”
You help return lost property in the last chapters but when it comes to slaves… you let them stay free.
Freedom for slaves built into the law and in more than one way. The year of jubilee when slaves were set free another example. n
