Read the passage below from "Slavery and the Bible," an essay from De Bow's Magazine (1850).

... Abraham, the chosen servant of God, had his bond servants, whose condition was similar to, or worse than, that of our slaves. He considered them as his property, to be bought and sold as any other property which he owned.
... We find, that both the Old and New Testaments speak of slavery—that they do not condemn the relation, but, on the contrary, expressly allow it or create it; and they give commands and exhortations, which are based upon its legality and propriety. It can not, then, be wrong.

What arguments does De Bow make in attempt to demonstrate that the Bible sanctions slavery?
