Leviticus 25:44-46 must be read within a full survey of Old Testament slave laws — anachronism of projecting chattel slavery onto the text is the core hermeneutical error

Mike identifies the central interpretive mistake as anachronism: reading "property" through the lens of American chattel slavery (which was founded entirely on kidnapping and total dehumanization) rather than the ancient Near Eastern context. He promises a fuller treatment and flags several counter-provisions that distinguish Israelite slavery from chattel slavery.
