Exodus 21 is pretty breathtaking. It's all about the keeping of slaves, including Hebrew slaves. Including selling your daughter into sexual servitude, legitimizing beating slaves (almost) to death. Just an absolutely contemptible document.

It's one of the more useful and succinct answers to the "if you don't believe in God, where do you get your morals?" question: "God never called for an end to slavery. We did. God was just fine with it"
