Slavery is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and is regulated under Jewish law. While Judaism does not explicitly forbid slavery, it does establish a framework to protect slaves and promote their welfare. Jewish law mandates treating slaves with fairness and dignity, emphasizing their rights and limiting the conditions under which they can be enslaved. Additionally, Jewish traditions encourage the eventual emancipation of slaves. Over time, Jewish ethical traditions have led to a broader understanding of human rights, which has contributed to opposition to slavery within Jewish communities.
