Jews had slaves too, so I'm not sure that counts as proof of villany in this case.

I can't tell if you're serious or not.

Jews had slaves, but not until much later than this story took place.

If I remember my classes correctly, we had indentured servants, kind of, later on? You weren't allowed to keep anyone a slave longer than seven years, and if they wanted to stay for longer you had to pierce their ears (or nose?) because they were too stupid to embrace freedom. And then you had to review every seven years.

Of course, this is what I remember from when I was about seven, so I may have made some of that up. I could also swear there was something about hurling a goat off a mountain to see if The Almighty was Displeased. (But first you had to look at a string that changed colors? Or something? I really have got to sit down and read the Talmud one of these days.)

All of this is accurate. :)

AYRT

Holy crap!

Your class sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than my Sunday school. *envies*

Only semi-accurate, really.
The Jewish concept of indentured servitude was pretty dang cushy compared to actual slavery in most places (for example, the fact that you have to release them). And upon release, they need to be presented with lots of expensive gifts etc. Also, often those sold into indentured servitude were people who had for example committed a crime they were unable to pay off, so this was a way for them to atone for it.
At least, according to what is passed down, this form of slavery was so "nice" to the slaves that the sages say that to buy a slave was to buy a master for yourself.

The stuff with the goat and the string all relates to the ceremonies on the Day of Atonement, and you've got a bunch of details wrong there. I mean the goat existed, but it was a type of sacrifice.

Also, pretty much none of what you mentioned appears in the Talmud, which by the way takes 7 years to learn... it's all in the Torah.
