AB - The purpose of this paper is to examine women's rights in the typical regulations of the adultery prohibition among the Pentateuch. The regulations are divided into the casuistic law and the apodictic law. In Exodus 22: 16-17(MT 22: 15-16) and Deuteronomy 22: 28-29 there is observed a tendency to protect women's rights within the "casuistic law". The regulations were not intended to justify male domination of women, but rather to coordinate disputes among male families who were undergoing a women's protection duty. The apodictic laws(Ex 20:14, Deut 22:22, Lev 20:10; 18:8) prohibit adultery and incest with strict and threatening tone. However, there are no bylaws or enforcement rules that can be found in the casuistic law. This law places emphasis on internalizing the contents of the existing regulations to the members of society, and maintains the fundamental order of the patriarchal family system and 'stabilizes' it. It is meaningful in the cultural anthropological perspective - By tying the 'female sex' to the head in the family, not only optimizing the family production capacity of the agricultural society, but also preventing the extinction of the family and surviving. For this purpose, only one "patriarchal right" of 'social self' was requested. The prohibition of adultery and incest are in agreement with the confession of the Yahweh faith, which is beyond the individual dimension, a 'social great self'. The rule of the dimension declares liberation of value. This result suggests useful looks for the women's discourse. - Above all considering the social framework and the socio-historical dimension of women's rights. In the end, it is necessary to discuss 'meta - value system' for the consistency of values of social members.
