Master is "adon", owner is "baal"So slaves are not said to have an "owner", just a "lord" or "master".
This distinction appears to hold true throughout the entire Old Testament.

This threaad has not generated the posts that I thought it would.
With the current environment stating that anyone who owned slaves should be erased from history, I wondered where God stood on the subject.
If God did not consider it a sin, then where does that put us on the subject?
