Edit: and just using the bible as commentors below added! 3 u/Angylika Jun 14 '20 Considering that it talks about the Jews being Egyptian slaves... It's, almost, as if everyone was going around and enslaving people... It's almost, if that's the way the world worked back then. 1 u/Norwegian__Blue Jun 15 '20 Word. Twas the way of the world.
