Best Answer

During the ninth and eighth centuries BCE, over a period of more than forty years, both Israel and Judah were expansionist, conquering Canaanite cities on the coast, Moab and Edom, as well as other territory. These victories provided an amples supply of slaves for the Hebrew nations. In addition, it appears that there was a practice of capturing lone travellors and selling them as slaves, a practice mirrored in the biblical story of Joseph. Finally, if a debtor failed to meet his payments, his creditor could take him and his family as slaves, subject to the right of release after seven years.
