If that were to happen in this current society it would be viewed as inhumane and evil, yet at that time it was the norm and no immorality was found in it. Interestingly though, in scripture some slaves were paid, some sold themselves into slavery, and every 7 years all slaves were to be freed. The New Testament actually goes into detail that slaves were not to be mistreated or to be shown cruelty.
