How does I overstand the contradiction of human ownership in Exodus? In the same book where I and I escaped slavery from Egypt, rules are set forth to I and I on how slavery is to operate from Exodus 21:2:
“When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.

much of this goes on to describe the rules of a slaves children becoming his master's property and that selling your daughter is allowed and the punishments for any person to lose a limb for a limb or tooth for a tooth.

and then it goes onto say from Exodus 21:20-21:
"When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.”
‭;‭;
Is this is a symptom of the Towel of Babel? I and I know that JAH know slavery is not livity, how do I and I defend against the advocation of Biblical slavery? How does JAH word corrupt and then seem to balance with JAH-Love?

Do I and I simply seek an overstanding to the context of history and push to a livolution of higher livication to overstand the True JAH-Love, how do I and I interpret this segment of ripture. Are human writers of the Bible just flawed to express what is an extinct tradition of culture or is this a way to bridge a divide and repentance to the Egyptian master that I and I were freed from? Do I and I view this as a misinterpretation? I seek to know because a breda felt discouragment and word of corruption from de Holy Book. I too feel religion is no spirit of JAH but a building of selffish and unwise man.

Blessed love.

When one read the bible, you should keep the GOOD in the book, and let go of the BAD. Your irits will show you whats good ina d bible and what is bad/evil. In the bible both good and bad are mixed together. So as I said, keep the good teachings and reject the bad.

I and I Selassie I JAH Ras Tafari!
