Thanks for the info but what you are seeing is translation wording to express an idea but the full meaning isn't really seen. In Lev 22:11 the word used is the Hebrew word qinyan 7359 and that Hebrew word isn't even found in the Ex 21:21 verse. In fact the word translated property in Ex 21:21 is talking more of the silver, as used in the purchase rather than the person himself.
In Lev 22:11 the word means something that was purchased. Which is exactly what a bond servant is. You purchased his servant hood or ship with a money agreement. But it has even a more reaching meaning. Perhaps the idea is better seen in this excerpt from the Complete Biblical Library Interlinear as it referrences the Hebrew Dictionary.
The psalmist extols the Lord as owner of the earth: "The earth is full of Thy possessions" (Ps. 104:24, NASB). The NIV takes qinyan in this verse to be derived from a less common meaning of qanah (i.e., "to create") and translates qinyan as "creatures."Complete Biblical Library Hebrew-English Dictionary - The Complete Biblical Library Hebrew-English Dictionary – Pe-Resh.

But hey if you want to press the point that you think God okayed chattel slavery then knock your socks off. I haven't found anything in scripture that supports that position. And truthfully I find the idea that God okayed something as evil as chattel slavery as being a bit offensive.
