Jewish Law
Implication : “He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.” (Gen. 17: 13).

Note 4
We can see this practice from Maimonides Issurei Biah 14:9 which states :
“When a servant is purchased from the gentiles, we do not say: "Why did you choose to convert? "[1] Instead, we say to him: "Do you desire to enter the category of Jewish servants and become one of

the observant of them?" If he agrees, he is informed about the fundamentals of the faith, about some of the easy mitzvot and some of the more severe ones, and the punishments and rewards [associated with them] as we notify a convert. [Then] we immerse him[2] as we immerse a

convert and inform him [of the mitzvot] while he is in the water.
If he does not desire to accept [the status of a servant], we are patient with him for twelve months. Afterwards, we sell him to a gentile. It is forbidden to maintain him for a longer period.[3] If at the outset,

he established a condition that he would not be circumcised or immersed, but instead would be a resident alien, it is permissible to maintain him in that status.[4] A servant may be maintained in this status only during the era when the Jubilee is observed.”

[1]As we tell a prospective convert. We do not make this statement to a servant, for he is not coming to convert on his own volition.
[2]A male servant is also circumcised before conversion. It is questionable why the Rambam does not mention this point.

[3]He must be sold to the Diaspora or to a gentile (Hilchot Avadim 8:12).
[4] [The Rama (Yoreh De'ah 267:4) writes that in the lands where he lived (Central Europe), it was forbidden to convert a gentile to Judaism. Therefore it is taken for granted that the servant was purchased

on the condition that his status not be altered. Hence, he may be maintained indefinitely as a gentile.]

Also it must be pointed out that the main reason for a slave to become a convert is probably that he may obtain his freedom as a Jew ( Ex. 21:2-4 and Deut. 15:12-15).

Another problem is that (Lev. 25:43-53) implies that the “heathen”, stranger, etc. slave must be treated with rigour.

But over all the biggest problem is this: Ex. 21:20-21 “21.20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21.21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.”

Last but not least, Lev. 19:20-22
“19.20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

19.21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

19.22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.“
See this in contrast to another slavery law in Ex. 21:4

I think those implications are more than enough, to make it clear that the slave laws of the Pentateuch are open to many exploitations and Maimonides' remarks are enough to prove that many of those were practiced.
