God allowed it for getting out of debt, as in indentured servants.  He did not allow stealing people and abusing them.  He established stringent rules and protection for the slaves.  They also sold themselves into slavery so it was a free choice.  

I have ancestors who were kidnapped and stolen, shipped over to Puritans in the States, and enslaved under the Old Testament laws governing the treatment of slaves.  The Anglican slaves were not allowed citizenship, however.  Read the book "Kidnapped" by Robert Lewis Stevenson.  

I think there has been many laws designed to put folks in debt .
