Holy-City Jerusalem
| Root | Ἱεροσόλυμα (Hierosolyma) |
| Core Meanings | Jerusalem, holy city, sacred Jerusalem |
| Semantic Range | The historical city of Jerusalem; the religious and political center of Judea; by extension, the covenant city, the site of the temple, and symbol of Israel’s worship and identity. |
| Conceptual Significance | Jerusalem is the covenantal and cultic heart of Israel’s life—home of the temple, Davidic throne, and major redemptive events. In the Apostolic Writings it becomes the focal point of Messiah’s death and resurrection and later a theological symbol of the earthly and heavenly city of Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper 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 Rationale | The 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. |
