IEROUSALĒM / HIEROSOLYMA aka "Jerusalem." Greek preserves two distinct forms of the city's name:
|
|
IEROUSALĒM (indeclinable, transliterating the Hebrew directly, the Septuagint's consistent
|
|
form) and HIEROSOLYMA (a fully Hellenized, declinable form, re-shaped by association with
|
|
Greek HIEROS, "holy"). Most NT authors favor one form heavily — Matthew and Mark lean
|
|
Hellenized, John uses only the Hellenized form, Luke's Gospel and Acts use both, with an
|
|
outlier's preference for the Hebrew form overall. Luke's own text alternates within a single
|
|
episode: Luke 2:22 gives HIEROSOLYMA ("they brought him up to Hierosolyma"), Luke 2:25 gives
|
|
IEROUSALĒM ("there was a man in Ierousalēm").
|
|

|
|
Scholars have long debated the logic of this
|
|
switching; the pattern most often proposed is that IEROUSALĒM tends to carry special covenantal
|
|
or theological weight, while HIEROSOLYMA functions as the ordinary, administrative name for the
|
|
"Jerusalem."
