Eski Ahit’te, kardeşinden faiz almayacaksın şeklinde İsrailli bir borçlu hakkında çok özel bir yasak vardır. Tevrat olarak adlandırılan Eski Ahit’in ilk beş kitabında veya Musa’nın şeriatinde, fakirden faiz alınmasına yasak getirilmişken zenginlerden faiz alınması yasaklanmamıştır. Aynı zamanda bu yasaklama İsrailli olmayanlardan faiz alınmasına yasak getirmemektedir. Bir bütün olarak İsrail dini, Yahve ile seçtiği halkı arasında akdettiği anlaşmadan başka bir şey değildir; bu tanrısal ahit, kısmen bu dünyada ve kısmen de ahrette, yerine getirdiği görevlerden dolayı kişiyi ödüllendirirken önemsemeyip yapmadığı her buyruk için de cezalandırmaktadır. Eski Ahit’in pek çok yerinde, fakirlik ve borç almak bir tanrı cezası olarak görülürken, zenginlik ve faizli borç vermek de tanrının bir ödülü olarak yüceltilmiştir.

The Economic Analysis of The Old Testament

Öz

In the Old Testament, there was a special prohibition of a Jewish debtor that dont take interest from your brother. In the first five books of Old Testament or the sharia of Moses which named Torah, not prohibited taking interest from richs but from poors. At the same time this prohibition wasn’t ordered that taking interest from non-jews. The whole Jewish religion is in reality nothing but a contract between Yahweh and his chosen people, this divine contract usually set forth that man is rewarded for duties performed and punished for duties neglected, the rewards and punishments being received partly in this and partly in the next world.. There are many places in the Old Testament which regard poverty and debt as a punishment of God, and which exalt to richness and creditor as a reward of God.
