I see no need for a council but if you want to have one go at it.Any one of us can research the meaning of slaver in that period and see the differences and similarities and the pros and the cons of it. No need for a council.Yes it does sound much more like indentured servitude. Though I would add that the most I know of Indentured servitude was what was practiced at the founding of this nation and the motives of those who instituted it do not seem to be that ethical.Slavery in OT times was a way to provide for the basic needs of people who could not support themselves at best. Was it ever abused? I suppose it was. Which would be why they would make laws on how slaves were to be treated. If the law provides that slaves are not to be mistreated does that condone it? No it merely fails to oppose it. And if opposing it were to result in millions dying of starvation wouldn't it be better to permit it without abuse (including provisions for slaves to be freed both when they earn it and also at regularly scheduled times (various times called jubilee) even when they don't earn it)?
