Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from יְבוּס (Yebus), the ancient name for Jerusalem.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term יְבוּסִי (Yebusi) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the term specifically refers to a Canaanite people group and is primarily used in the context of the Old Testament. However, references to the Jebusites in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use transliterations or descriptive phrases to convey the same meaning.

Usage: The term "Jebusite" refers to the people who inhabited the land of Jebus, which is identified with Jerusalem, prior to its conquest by the Israelites. The Jebusites are mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often in lists of the peoples inhabiting Canaan.

Context: The Jebusites were one of the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the seven nations that the Israelites were commanded to dispossess (Deuteronomy 7:1). The Jebusites lived in the hill country, particularly in and around the city of Jebus, which is identified with Jerusalem.

The Jebusites are first mentioned in Genesis 10:16 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. They are listed among the nations that the Israelites encountered during their conquest of the Promised Land. In Joshua 15:63, it is noted that the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites from Jerusalem, and they continued to dwell there alongside the Israelites.

The most notable biblical account involving the Jebusites is found in 2 Samuel 5:6-9, where King David captures the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David, from the Jebusites. This event marks the beginning of Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center of Israel.

The Jebusites are also mentioned in the context of the purchase of the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite by King David, which later became the site of Solomon's Temple (2 Samuel 24:18-25; 1 Chronicles 21:18-30).

Despite their initial resistance, the Jebusites were eventually assimilated into the Israelite nation, and their presence in the biblical narrative highlights the complex interactions between the Israelites and the indigenous peoples of Canaan.
