The Port of Tyre VirtualTourist Hard to believe,
but it is from this tranquil fishing port that
Phoenician Tyre ruled the Mediterranean Sea
around 950 BC. At the time, Tyre was still an
island, but since Alexander the Great's conquest
in 332 BC, the island has been a peninsula
connected to the mainland. Nowadays, the port
hosts nothing but small wooden fishing boats, and
the area around it is a pleasant place for a
stroll and a meal.

off among the Gentiles, and although I have
scattered them among the countries, yet I shall
be a little sanctuary for them in the countries
where they have gone." ' "Therefore say, 'Thus

you have been scattered, and I will give you the

Bible vs Historians

• Comparison of 29 kings with archeological
  corroboration revealed the following

• The Bible precisely matched archeological
  artifacts in both the names and chronological
  order of the kings
• Secular historian records seldom matched names
  precisely

36
Bible vs Historians
That the Hebrew writers should have
transliterated these names with such accuracy and
conformity to philological principles is a
wonderful proof of their thorough care and
scholarship and of their access to the original
sources. That the names should have been
transmitted to us through so many copyings and so
many centuries in so complete a state of
preservation is a phenomenon unequaled in the
history of literature. - Dr. R.D. Wilson

Slavery and the Bible
Facebook, March 13, 2012 Consult the Bible, and
you will discover that the creator of the
universe clearly expects us to keep slaves. The
only real restraint God counsels on the subject
of slavery is that we not beat our slaves so
severely that we injure their eyes or their teeth
(Exodus 21).  while the abolitionists of the
nineteenth century were morally right, they were
on the losing side of a theological argument.
47
Slavery and the Bible

• There are different types of slavery
• Basic Servitude
• Indentured Servitude
• Vassalage
• Chattel Slavery

48
Basic Servitude, ANE
"Freedom in the ancient Near East was a relative,
not an absolute state, as the ambiguity of the
term for "slave" in all the region's languages
illustrates. "Slave" could be used to refer to a
subordinate in the social ladder. Thus the
subjects of a king were called his "slaves," even
though they were free citizens. The king himself,
if a vassal, was the "slave" of his emperor
kings, emperors, and commoners alike were
"slaves" of the gods. Even a social inferior,
when addressing a social superior, referred to
himself out of politeness as "your slave. A
History of Ancient Near Eastern Law', vol 1 pg
40. A collaborative work of twenty-two scholars
49
Basic Servitude, Bible
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon and other
kings are regularly called slaves of Yahweh (Exod
3213 Lev 2555 1 Sam 39 Ezra 911, etc.).
All the subjects of Israel and Judah are called
slaves of their kings, including even wives,
sons, and brothers of the latter (1 Sam 178
293 2 Sam 195, etc. cf. also Gen 2737
324). Ruth refers to herself as a slave girl
of her relative Boaz (Ruth 39).
50
Indentured Servitude, ANE
A History of Ancient Near Eastern Law, vol 1 pg
585 - "Sales of wives, children, relatives, or
oneself, due to financial duress, are a recurrent
feature of the Nuzi socio-economic scenePoverty
was the cause of these agreements".  (also see
"Life in the Ancient Near East, 3100-332 BCE,
Daniel C. Snell, Yale1997)
51
Indentured Servitude, the Bible
Lev 2539-41 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
youhe and his children with himand shall return
to his own family.
1 Cor 721  Were you a slave when you were
called? Dont let it trouble youalthough if you
can gain your freedom, do so.
52
Vassalage, ANE
The purpose of suzerainty treaties was to
guarantee that a smaller state remained the
faithful ally of the empire and did not pursue an
independent foreign policy.DG Myers, Glossary
Of Biblical Interpretation, Department of
English, Texas AM University, 1999
53
Vassalage, the Bible
Deut 2010-11 When you go near a city to fight
against it, then proclaim an offer of peace to
it. And it shall be that if they accept your
offer of peace, and open to you, then all the
people who are found in it shall be placed under
tribute to you, and serve you.
servants (mas), not "slaves" (ebed, amah)
54
Chattel SlaveryANE ONLY

respect for the face of slavesbesides
eye-gouging, they resorted to branding, cutting
of the ears, mutilating the nose, etc IN THE LAW
CODES! These practices are NOT in Israels law
codes Glenn Miller, Does God condone slavery
in the Bible?, 2005
55
Chattel Slavery, NOT in the Bible

• Chattel slavery did not exist under the Law of
  Moses!
• Kinship rights (Exodus 213, 9, Leviticus 2541,
  47-49, 54)
• Marriage rights (Exodus 214, 10-11)
• Personal legal rights relating to physical
  protection (Exodus 2120-21, 26-27, Leviticus
  2539-41)
• Freedom of movement and access to liberty (Deut
  151, 12 2315).

Chattel Slaveryvs the Bible
The Code of Hammurabi, 16. If any one receive
into his house a runaway male or female slave of
the court, or of a freedman, and does not bring
it out at the public proclamation of the major
domus, the master of the house shall be put to
death.
Deut 2315-16 You shall not give back to his
master the slave who has escaped from his master
to you. He may dwell with you in your midst, in
the place which he chooses within one of your
gates, where it seems best to him you shall not
oppress him.
60
Chattel Slaveryvs the Bible
The Code of Hammurabi, 116. If the prisoner die
in prison from blows or maltreatment, the master
of the prisoner shall convict the merchant before
the judge. If he was a free-born man, the son of
the merchant shall be put to death if it was a
slave, he shall pay one-third of a mina of gold,
and all that the master of the prisoner gave he
shall forfeit.
Exodus 2116 Whoever kidnaps someone and sells
him, or is caught still holding him, must surely
be put to death. Deuteronomy 247 If a man is
found kidnapping a person from among his fellow
Israelites, and regards him as mere property and
sells him, that kidnapper must die.

66
God foretold that He would wipe out the
Amalekites
Ex 1714 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this
for a memorial in the book and recount it in the
hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out
the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
Saul was to be his instrument of judgment
1 Sam 151-3 Now therefore, heed the voice of the
words of the LORD. Thus says the LORD of hosts
I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel,
how he ambushed him on the way when he came up
from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly
destroy all that they have, and do not spare
them. But kill both man and woman, infant and
nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
67
Saul fails to completely follow Gods command
1 Sam 159 But Saul and the people spared Agag

and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But
everything despised and worthless, that they
utterly destroyed.
1 Sam 2818 Because you did not obey the voice of
the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon
Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to
you this day.
68
From noted apologist Norman Geisler
The destruction of their nation was necessitated
by the gravity of their sin. Had some hardcore
remnant survived, they might have resumed their
aggression against the Israelites and Gods

the Israelites off the face of the earth - as
quoted in Lee Strobels The Case for Faith
But there was a surviving remnant!
2 Sam 113-14 Then David said to the young man
who told him, "Where are you from?" And he
answered, "I am the son of an alien, an
Amalekite." So David said to him, "How was it you
were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy
the LORD's anointed?"
69
The plot thickens
1 Sam 158-9 He also took Agag king of the
Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the
people with the edge of the sword. But Saul and
the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep,
the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that
was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy
them. But everything despised and worthless, that

salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit

Chattel Slavery, ANE ONLY
A chattel slave was property. The slaveowners
rights over his slave-property were total,
covering the person as well as the labor of the
slave. The slave was kinless, stripped of his or
her old social identity in the process of
capture, sale and deracination, and denied to
capacity to forge new bonds of kinship through
marriage alliance. These are the three basic
components of chattel slavery. Peter Garnsey,
Ideas of Slavery from Aristotle to Augustine,
1996

Indentured Servitude, Bible vs ANE
Pentateuchal prescriptions are meant to mitigate
the causes of and need for such bondservice.
Resident aliens, orphans and widows are not to be
abused, oppressed or deprived of justice. When
money is lent to the poor, they are not to be
charged interest. (Elsewhere in the ancient Near
East exorbitant interest rates on loans were the
chief cause of people being sold into slavery).
Article Slavery, in Dictionary of the Old
Testament Pentateuch. Deut 2319 You shall not
charge interest to your brother - interest on
money or food or anything that is lent out at
interest. To a foreigner you may charge interest
