The measure-for-measure principle eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand does not imply that literal hands and eyes are to be removed but that the punishment must fit the crime. Lex talionis lex = law and talionis = of the same nature.
The Hebrew word עֶבֶד eḇeḏ means both slave and servant. It is from the Hebrew root word abad עָבַד āḇaḏ which means to serve. So, it is not to be interpreted as the picture of brutal slavery that one has here in America.
