The Torah allows and promotes the use of pagans as slaves and sex slaves, Jewish men can only inherit pagans as property, but not other Jews. Captured pagan woman can be used as sex slaves and if they are raped by another Jewish man the pagan woman is beaten. Jews may breed their slaves to make more slaves and are given permission to beat their slaves to death.

Slave women can be promised to Jewish men
If another Jewish man sleeps with her she is punished
“If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.” - Leviticus 19:20, NIV
Jews can breed pagans with their Hebrew servants to make more slaves
“If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.” - Exodus 21:4, NIV
Jews may take foreign slaves and inherit them as property, but not other Jews
“44 As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. 45 You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. 46 You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly. “ – Leviticus 25:44-46, NIV
Jews may beat pagan slaves to death
