What Is Money?

Many people think that our dollar bill is money.  But it is just paper.  It is not even backed by gold anymore.




But what does our Father say is money?   So I looked up gold and silver in the bible.  Gold, the word in Hebrew is

H2091
זהב
zâhâb
zaw-hawb'
From an unused root meaning to shimmer; gold; figuratively something gold colored (that is, yellow), as oil, a clear sky: - gold (-en), fair weather.

Nowhere does it say it is money. But the word silver is another story.


H3701

כסף keseph
keh'-sef
From H3700; silver (from its pale color); by implication money: - money, price, silver (-ling).



Hmmm.  I looked up the word money in E-Sword and guess what Hebrew word is it's definition?  Yep, H3701Keseph: Silver.  That is what our Father considers money.  Interesting! 


Shalom!!!
