.The notion of individual responsibility comes from Ezekiel. Before that, Jews used to believe when one individual went astray, the entire nation was held responsible.

Interesting. Can you explain ?

“The word of the Lord came to me: What do you mean by quoting this proverb upon the soil of Israel, ‘Parents eat sour grapes and their children’s teeth are set of edge’? As I live- declares the Lord God- this proverb shall no longer be current among you in Israel. Consider, all lives are Mine; the life of the parent and the life of the child are both Mine. The person who sins, only he shall die”. Ezekiel 18, 1-4
