Nature of the Bondage
Exegetical Approaches
Slaves to the State
Slavery in Egypt was State sponsored and involved serving Paroh rather than acting as house slaves to individual Egyptians..
Slaves to the Sate and to Individuals
Not only were the Israelites conscripted to work for Paroh, but in addition any Egyptian who so desired was free to enslave an Israelite to work for them personally.
וַיַּעֲבִדוּ מִצְרַיִם אֶת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּפָרֶךְ – According to these sources the word "מִצְרַיִם" refers to individual Egyptians, and this verse represents a worsening of the oppression as lay Egyptians were given permission to take Israelites as their personal slaves.
