If slavery was so bad why didn't they just run away?

Slavery in the bible is not the same as jewish slavery in America.
Females slaves have the right to free food, clothes and marriage, and if any of those aren't provided, they can leave without paying anything and be free.
Slavery in the bible is more akin to work contracts today but with other benefits.

It was still slavery. But their laws look to me more like "fine, you guys can have slaves, but there's going to be some restrictions".

It's more like you have to take care of this person now and provide for him/her.
