The term "bankruptcy" enconpasses several different legal methods of dealing with debt, It is codified in a federal law: Chapter 11 of the US Code. But the concept of a system to give someone relief from his or her debts has been around since the Old Testament. A verse in Leviticus (one of the original five books of Moses) speaks of forgiving the debts of one's neighbors every seven years.
