Do Israelis sell their daughters as slaves?

Question

Or was it only in the old days?

Why I am asking?

I read it somewhere that:

Exodus 21:7 says:

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do".

Answer 3

I fail to see the connection between your opening question regarding the present "do Israelis sell" and the quote you bring from the Bible, my friend the Bible was written THOUSANDS of years ago, and what was done isn't.

Now if you are talking modern times rhan here is a quote for you

"It is estimated that as many as 200,000 Black south sudanese children and women ( mostly from dinka tribe who were sold by the sudanese arabs of the north) have been taken into slavery in Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War. In Mauritania it is estimated that up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population, are currently enslaved, many of them used as bonded labor. Slavery in Mauritania was criminalized in August 2007.

The Arab trade in slaves continued into the 20th century. Written travelogues and other historical works are replete with references to slaves owned by wealthy traders, nobility and heads of state in the Arabian Peninsula well into the 1920s. Slave owning and slave-like working conditions have been documented up to and including the present, in countries of the Middle East. Though the subject is considered taboo in the affected regions, a leading Saudi government cleric and author of the country's religious curriculum has called for the outright re-legalization of slavery.

Children as young as two years old are used for slavery as child camel jockeys across the Arab countries of the Middle East. Although strict laws have been introduced recently in Qatar and UAE, thanks to better awareness of the issue and lobbying by human rights organisations such as the Ansar Burney Trust, the use of children still continues in outlying areas and during secret night-time races.

Many of the Iraqi women fleeing the Iraq War are turning to prostitution, others are trafficked abroad, to countries like Syria, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Iran. In Syria alone, an estimated 50,000 Iraqi refugee girls and women, many of them widows, are forced into prostitution. Cheap Iraqi prostitutes have helped to make Syria a popular destination for s*x tourists. The clients come from wealthier countries in the Middle East - many are Saudi men. High prices are offered for virgins."

YOUNG BOYS ARE VERY POPULAR TOO

Answer 4

No we do not.  If this was done at all, it took place over 3,000 years ago.

Please note that the Jewish concept of slavery was a temporary employment arrangement for six years:

"If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years; and in the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing. If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. But if the servant plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,' then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever." (Exodus 21:2-6)

Because of the experience of slavery in Egypt, an Israelite could not be kept as a slave:

"And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave. As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee. And then he shall depart from you—he and his children with him—and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers. For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. You shall not rule over him with rigor, but you shall fear your God." (Leviticus 25:39-43)

Answer 10

Oh, I love biblical questions.  This question deserves to be in R&S (religion and spirituality) and not travel section, by the way.

This scripture is addressing what was contractual labor back in ancient days.  This law, what some would view to be archaic against women, is actually a protection of them.

In old days the Canaanite nations would get injury then they would be dismissed.  We have been instructed to "not do as they do" throughout entire course of scripture.

So this is stating that she cannot be dismissed due to injury.

Hey, sounds like modern American law against:  "wrongful dismissal."

Right on.

Jewish law has always given high protection to women.  I am a woman, I should know.
