Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: The Aramaic form of the Hebrew יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (Yerushalayim).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2414: Ἰερουσαλήμ (Hierousalem) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to Jerusalem, maintaining the continuity of the city's significance from the Old Testament. It appears in various contexts, including the life and ministry of Jesus, the early church, and prophetic visions in the book of Revelation.

Usage: This term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to refer to the city of Jerusalem, the historic and spiritual center of Israel.

Context: • יְרוּשֶׁלֵם (Yerushalem) is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew name for Jerusalem, a city of profound significance in biblical history. Jerusalem is first mentioned in the context of Melchizedek, king of Salem, in Genesis 14:18, and it becomes the political and spiritual capital of Israel under King David. The city is central to many biblical narratives and prophecies, serving as the site of the Temple built by Solomon, the focal point of Jewish worship.
• In the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel, יְרוּשֶׁלֵם is used to denote the city during the period of the Babylonian exile and subsequent return. For example, in Ezra 5:14, the term is used in the context of the rebuilding of the Temple: "He also removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and had carried to Babylon."
• The city holds eschatological significance, being the prophesied site of the Messiah's return and the establishment of God's kingdom. Jerusalem is often depicted as a symbol of God's presence and covenant with His people.
