Leviticus 19:29
אַל תְּחַלֵּל אֶת בִּתְּךָ לְהַזְנוֹתָהּ וְלֹא תִזְנֶה הָאָרֶץ וּמָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ זִמָּה:
Do not degrade your daughter and make her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry and the land be filled with depravity. [JPS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. In what ways do we degrade women in our society? How does this affect our community?

2. This text suggests that allowing one person to be degraded will result in a society falling into depravity. In what ways is this true? Bring examples from the world today.

Time Period: Biblical (early ancestors to 165 BCE)
