After years of learning and changing view points, I would say it matters most if they were stolen away or sold away
The Bible makes it clear that selling or possessing a stolen person as a slave is punishable by death
If a man buys a woman and "humbles her" (read takes her sexually before marrying her) he cannot sell her to another
Women would be purchased to be a maid and keep the house or to be espoused to one's self or relative usually, often for one's son
Just as it would have been in my heart to do, slaves were not to be treated poorly but taking into consideration that the master also has a master in Heaven, and that they are accountable for their treatment of them
In many ways, the outlined treatment of slaves in the Bible almost feels nicer than modern corporate culture treating the lot of us
It would be neat to buy a pretty young woman and teach her what she needs to know to be a good wife, almost like adding to the raising her father did before marrying her, and then take her as my wife
Since I'm a poor man I don't see that happening unless both my situations and the world change really quickly, but in all reality I would probably treat a sweet submissive girl that I got to date about the same, and neither way would I be seeking to penetrate the young lady before marriage
