The following passage shows that slaves are clearly property to be bought and sold like livestock:
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
Read Exodus 21:2-6 to learn how hebrew slaves are to betreated. Also read Exodus 21:7-11 to learn how to practice sex slavery in a way pleasing to the Lord.
What about the new testament you ask?
Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. 1 Timothy 6:1-2
