PLEVOVÁ, Zuzana
This work deals with situations in the Book of Genesis, where the collective responsibility was used and the purpose what it was used for. First of all, the basic concepts of collective responsibility, guilt and forgiveness are defined. After that the work includes analysis of texts from the Book of Genesis 12:10-20; 18:16-33; 20:1-18; 26:1-11; 34:1-31. In the last section these texts are discussed from the perspective of collective responsibility. The key question: In what situations in Genesis is collective responsibility used? The analysis of individual texts showed that collective responsibility in Genesis is associated with punishment or warning. Collective responsibility showed the direction, which had to be followed by the chosen people to go to God, and warned before departing from this path and distancing from God.
