Israel was enslaved by the Egyptians true, but the "slavery" from most of the bible as you quoted was different. If I owed you a large sum of money, I could become your "servant" to pay off the debt. Slavery is only one example that I mentioned earlier. I only mentioned that without a faith in God we could try to get away with anything. (As long as no one was watching such as authorities, our wives etc.) Speaking of laws, where do you think our current legal system comes from?

Actually, the "Jews" were not enslaved by Egyptians... The "Jews" ruled Egypt and where overthrown and run out of Egypt. The Hyskos who stayed in egypt later became jews, and were fully indoctrinated into Egyptian life(were merchants, payed taxes, all that good stuff)
