From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Slave
    Jer. 2:14 (A.V.), but not there found in the original. In Rev.
    18:13 the word "slaves" is the rendering of a Greek word meaning
    "bodies." The Hebrew and Greek words for slave are usually
    rendered simply "servant," "bondman," or "bondservant." Slavery
    as it existed under the Mosaic law has no modern parallel. That
    law did not originate but only regulated the already existing
    custom of slavery (Ex. 21:20, 21, 26, 27; Lev. 25:44-46; Josh.
    9:6-27). The gospel in its spirit and genius is hostile to
    slavery in every form, which under its influence is gradually
    disappearing from among men.
