SIBI-P1 G2414-01

Holy-City Jerusalem

Morphological NotesProper noun of Hebrew origin. Appears in the UGNT both as nominative feminine singular (NFS) and as accusative neuter plural (ANP). Though plural in form (especially in accusative), it functions syntactically as a singular proper place name.
Rendering RationaleThe name Ἱεροσόλυμα reflects the Hebrew יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (Yerushalayim) and carries the sense of a sacred or holy city. Rendering it as "Holy-City Jerusalem" preserves the embedded idea of sacredness (ἱερός, holy) while retaining the proper-name function. The form appears both as nominative feminine singular and as accusative neuter plural in the UGNT, reflecting its indeclinable and Hebraic character in Greek usage.
