Bóg jako źródło prawodawstwa w świetle Kodeksu Świętości (Kpł 17-26)

Abstract

One of the most important collection of the rules of law included in the Bible is the Code of Sanctity in the Book of Leviticus. These rules have their own features. Of course law included in the Old Testament has some common features with law in The Ancient East. But undoubtedly it has also its own specific. First of all, the Code of Sanctity shows God, as a source of law. It is why, law can not be understood as a typical code of rules, but rather as indications of a proper behaviour concerning human’s life. It was inclined a human being to correct attitudes and in this way to help in creating good relations between people. Thus the law should be the foundation of social order. More over, this order was supposed to be a sign of God’s wil. Thanks this a human being was situated in a space of God’s salvation. This aspect of the law seemed to be the most accurate for the law in present times created by people in order that all regulations would not make social mass but make peace.
