Berean Strong's Lexicon Hierosoluma: Jerusalem Original Word: Ἱεροσόλυμα Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (Yerushalayim) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3389 יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (Yerushalayim) Usage: Hierosoluma refers to the city of Jerusalem, a central location in biblical narratives. It is used in the New Testament to denote the physical city, which holds significant religious, cultural, and historical importance for the Jewish people and early Christians. The term is often used interchangeably with Ἰερουσαλήμ (Hierousalem) in the Greek New Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history that dates back to ancient times. It was the political and spiritual center of Israel, housing the Temple, which was the focal point of Jewish worship. During the time of Jesus, Jerusalem was under Roman occupation, and it was the site of significant events in His life, including His crucifixion and resurrection. The city has been a symbol of God's presence and covenant with His people and is often associated with prophetic visions of peace and restoration.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 2414: ἹεροσόλυμαἹεροσόλυμα (WH Ιεροσόλυμα, see their Introductory § 408), Ἱεροσολύμων, τά (the invariable form in Mark and John, almost everywhere in Matt. and Josephus (c. Apion 1, 22, 13, etc.; Philo, leg. ad Gaium § 36; (cf. Polybius 16, 39, 4); others)), and Ἱερουσαλήμ (WH Ἰερουσαλήμ (see reference as above)), ἡ, indeclinable (the invariable form in the Sept. (Joshua 10:1, etc.; Philo de somn. 2:39 at the beginning; so Aristotle, in Josephus, contra Apion 1, 22, 7 (where see Müller)); in the N. T. where a certain sacred emphasis, so to speak, resides in the very name, as Galatians 4:25f (see Lightfoot at the passage); Hebrews 12:22; Revelation 3:12; Revelation 21:2, 10; thus in direct address: Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34; both forms are used promiscuously (yet with a marked preference for the indeclinable form) in the O. T. Apocrypha, and in the writings of Luke and of Paul; (cf. Tdf. Proleg., p. 119; WH's Appendix, p. 160). Whether there is also a third and unusual form Ἱεροσόλυμα, ἱεροσολυμης, ἡ, in Matthew 2:3; Matthew 3:5, is extremely doubtful; for in the phrase ἐξεπορεύετο ... Ἱεροσόλυμα, Matthew 3:5, the noun can be taken as a neuter plural with a singular verb, cf. Winer's Grammar, § 58, 3 a.; and in the former passage, Matthew 2:3, the unusual coupling of the feminine πᾶσα with the neuter plural Ἱεροσόλυμα is easily explained by the supposition that the appellative idea, ἡ πόλις, was in the writer's mind; see Fritzsche and Bleek at the passage; cf. Buttmann, 18 (16); (yet see Pape, Eigennamen, under the word).
