Strong's Lexicon Hierapolis: Hierapolis Original Word: Ἱεράπολις Word Origin: From Greek ἱερός (hieros, meaning "sacred" or "holy") and πόλις (polis, meaning "city") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Hierapolis, as it is a Greek city name. However, the concept of a "holy city" can be related to Hebrew terms like קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, meaning "holy") and עִיר (ir, meaning "city"). Usage: Hierapolis is a city mentioned in the New Testament, known for its religious significance and its location in the region of Phrygia in Asia Minor. The name means "holy city," reflecting its status as a center of pagan worship and later as a Christian community. Cultural and Historical Background: Hierapolis was an ancient city located near modern-day Pamukkale in Turkey. It was famous for its hot springs, which were believed to have healing properties. The city was a significant center for Greco-Roman culture and religion, with numerous temples and a thriving textile industry. In the early Christian era, Hierapolis became an important center for the spread of Christianity. The Apostle Philip is traditionally believed to have been martyred there, and the city hosted a Christian community by the time of the Apostle Paul.
