Abstract

Yahudi geleneğine göre insanlık Âdem’den sonra Nuh’tan türemiştir. Nuh’un 10. kuşaktan torunu olan İbrahim Yahudilerin soy atasıdır. Yahudiliğe göre bütün insanlar Tanrı’nın suretinde yaratıldıkları için saygındırlar. Yahudilik insan hayatı ve onurunun dokunulmaz olduğunu kabul etmiştir. Bu makalede Yahudiliğin ana kaynağı olan Tevrat’ta insan hayatı ve onurunun muhafazasının nasıl sağlandığı konusu ele alınmaktadır. Makalede ilk olarak Yahudiliğin insan algısı ele alınmış, temel kaynaklarda Yahudiler ve yabancıların konumu tanıtılmıştır. Daha sonra Tevrat’ta yer alan insan hayatı ve onurunu korumaya yönelik hükümler taranmış, her konu iki örnek üzerinden ele alınmıştır. İnsan hayatının korunması konusu öldürme ve yaralama suçları üzerinden, insan onurunun korunması konusu da kölelik müessesesi ve zina ile zina iftirası konuları üzerinden ele alınmıştır.
