This paper intends to demonstrate that HRM originates from Egypt (Africa) and that its sources are indeed biblical. In order to attain that goal we shall deal with HRM and related concepts sourced from the Bible, with sufficient references from the old and New Testament. The Bible being the Holy book of the Christians, it contains Jesus Christ’s teachings. We have used some of his teachings and related them to certain common HRM concepts such as HR Planning, Recruitment, Selection, Performance Appraisal, Wages, Employee Compensation, Employee Safety and Welfare and Employee – Employer’s relationship which are clearly perceived from the verses. We could draw the conclusion that almost all the important aspects of HRM and leadership have been covered by the Holy Book prior to the antecedent theoretical development of the 18 th century in Europe and the human relations movement of the early 20th century in USA. The methodology used is based on providing qualitative comprehensive framework model supported by Christian scriptures in order to demonstrate the early biblical origins of HRM contrarily to what is generally stated. This work appeals to those in leadership, management, staff and volunteer positions, public and private sectors organizations, churches, Para-church, and faith-based organizations, as well as Christian business leaders and Christian employees in all sectors to integrate and balance mission achievement with Godly principles , ends and integrity that only the creator of HRM and the universe can provide. Otherwise the practices and policy of HRM will be limited and inefficient in our organizations. The contribution of this research paper is to provide perspectives and a new framework for line managers, human resource department and leaders of all sorts
