To the land of the free from the home of the enslaved...

The United States had a Fugitive Slave Law at the time; however, in ancient Israel it was forbidden:

“Do not return a slave to his master when he has escaped from his master to you. Let him live among you wherever he wants within your city gates. Do not mistreat him.”
