Summary/Abstract: It is unanimously accepted that the Bible is one reference in the writings of humanity. Of course, it is based – foremost – on the messianic idea, widely exploited in theological disciplines. Meanwhile, though, multilateral cognitive valences cannot be circumvented, especially, the character of historic document of many biblical texts that record facts and events that took place over a long period of time. Furthermore, we consider that the Bible – in its whole – is a foundation and a coherent configuration for a large number of scientific disciplines, the author’s concerns being channelled, naturally, toward economic origin disciplines. In this context there can be highlighted texts attesting the existence and development since the ancient times of economic relations, out of which – in the present study – we will focus on monetary and credit relations.
