Wychowanie do czystości w Prawie Mojżeszowym
Chastity Education in The Mosaic Law

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of chastity as it is presented in the Law of Moses. Since the chastity is an important element of the family protection and generational continuity, the Lawgiver concentrated on many aspects of it. First of all, Israel is considered to be a community of families and a unity of long lasting generations. It is destined to celebrate life and to enjoy love and joy of a community. Second, Israeli people are strictly prohibited from a wide range of sexual behavior especially inside the family relations, and from various perversions. The cults and worship involving a sexual activity are unthinkable both in context of idolatry and in context of Judaism. Next, the family is obliged to protect its daughters, i.e. young generation, from prostitution and even bad reputation. And finally, parents have to teach their children to keep chastity and to fulfill all the requirements of the Law of Moses concerning family life.
