Thank you for the human right question, “How does the Bible violate basic human rights?”
It is faulty in my view to impose our modern standard on any culture in the present or in the past. Each culture in its time period is unique. Would it be alright if a future generation may ask how did the United States violate basic human rights? Did they violate the rights of unborn babies or the destruction of personal property in riots throughout our history. No culture is exempt from what another culture may perceive as violating basic human rights from their perspective.
In cultures long ago as one well knows, it is the victor of war who determine the rights of its citizens and its captives. Tribal war and national war was a way of life for most of earth’s history. To assume basic human rights one has to ask who determines what those basic human rights? Is it the victor or dictator? Is it the people who elects representative leaders? Is it the rich and powerful who influence/determine national policy? In a theocracy, God is the one who determines the Laws in which its citizens lived under. If a person doesn’t agree with the Jewish Law, that person is free to travel to another country and live under that countries religious and or civil laws. The Old Testament does not force any Jew to remain in the land. They are free to go to any country that they choose. Thus they have the freedom of choice.
If a person chooses to remain in the Promised Land under a theocratic rule, then its citizens knows the laws and is to freely submit to it. For a captive slave or Jewish person, would one say that every granting every person slave or free a day of rest? How many other cultures granted that to its slaves. its people. and animals a day of rest?. Is it a violation of basic human rights to honor one’s mother and father? One would think that is a basic right of parenting. As one reads the Laws of Dietary or Moral Laws, there is the respect of the Imago Dei within each person. The violation of that Imago Dei leads to clearly written consequences as thief, coveting, and murder. The execution/punishment for violating the Law is known to its inhabitants. If one desires to engage in immoral conduct, it is best to move to another country which allows it or where one can get away with it.
In my opinion the Bible does not violate basic human rights under a theocracy of the Creator God. The perceived injustice is a failure to understand the right of the Creator God to pass judgment on those who hurt/devastate the Imago Dei in humans. The wickedness of man can’t go unabated for even in a civilized society there are consequences to violating the civil laws of that society. One would call it violating basic human rights if one penalizes an assault on a person, robbery or murder. It is justice as determined by that culture and its societal rules even in a theocracy.
SUMMARY: The Bible uphold the Imago Dei of every person and carries forth justice and mercy according to its Laws to those who violate it.
