When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

You're nothing more than a troll, but I'll briefly respond to this, in case someone else reads it.
The vast majority of the laws of Exodus were for and about a specific group of people, at a specific place and time.
These were laws for people THEN, not then, now, and forever.
It's like seeing a speed limit sign that reads 25, taking a picture of it, and then driving around at 25 mph for the rest of your life because that's what the sign said. It was true, at THAT TIME, and at THAT PLACE, for THOSE PEOPLE.
Godspeed.

So do you have a daughter you want to sell or what. If so, send pictures.

You're taking it out of context. There was no support of slavery in the Bible.
Any time a slave is mentioned being owned by a phrophet, the appriate translation would be servant. There were servants, not slaves.
Slavery is mentioned, but it is not condoned. In this verse you quote, they are actually talking about servants, NOT forced labor.

The Bible is an archaic book.
No more to say.
