There are many synergies working here, that are all Darwinian/Naturalistic for commiting to one city as "Holy" as we've seen in just that many other examples as the turning world of human cultures rising & falling. Centering the Christian Church in Rome did not hurt the property values then & now either, if you think it doesn't meld with unifying symbolic power & authority, control, economics, identity, you are being simple minded. (but we knew that already) And very naturalistic all the way, Hebrews were just recording more of it then most others, it was one of their skillsets over others since they had only partly developed skills in other areas, the Greeks were even superior linguistically than they, Romans incredible builders, militarists & civil administrators etc etc. ---->Darwin & Nature<----

The History of Banking is of wide fascinating interest & its synergies thru history, starting with palace & temple banking , making loans especially of note starting the central banking systems early , coin exchange,trade & storage of valuables & grain loans. en.wikipedia.org The wages of sin & all those metaphors come out of Pauls stay in Corinth, a city that was very caught up with trading, loans & wealth exchange of all sorts. You cant take it with you but you can incorporate & accrue interests on loans in which we see debt itself becoming a large form of currency later on, especially after the Protestant "liberation" & rise of Christian merchant houses, followed by the big state central bankers.
