Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Ἱεροσόλυμα (Hierosolyma), which is the Greek name for Jerusalem.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek term Ἱεροσολυμίτης does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, as it specifically refers to the Greek name for Jerusalem and its inhabitants. However, it is related to the Hebrew term יְרוּשָׁלַם (Yerushalayim), Strong's Hebrew entry 3389, which is the Hebrew name for Jerusalem.

Usage: The term Ἱεροσολυμίτης is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals who are from Jerusalem. It is a designation of origin, identifying someone as a resident or native of this significant city.

Context: The term Ἱεροσολυμίτης appears in the New Testament as a descriptor for those who belong to the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem holds a central place in biblical history as the political and spiritual capital of Israel. It is the site of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship, and the city where significant events in the life of Jesus Christ took place, including His crucifixion and resurrection.

In the New Testament, Jerusalem is often depicted as a city of great religious importance, but also as a place of conflict and tension. The inhabitants of Jerusalem, referred to as Ἱεροσολυμίται, are frequently involved in the narratives surrounding Jesus' ministry. They are witnesses to His teachings and miracles, and some are participants in the events leading to His crucifixion.

The term underscores the identity and cultural background of those who lived in Jerusalem, highlighting their connection to the city's rich religious heritage. It also serves to distinguish them from other groups, such as the Galileans or Samaritans, who are often mentioned in the Gospels.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to provide context and clarity regarding the setting and the people involved in the biblical narrative. For example, in Acts 2:5, it is noted that "Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven." This passage highlights the diverse population of Jerusalem, including those identified as Ἱεροσολυμίται.
