The Ancient Name of Jerusalem?
I _think_ it was just Salem. Jebus* [the name of the cananite tribe that occupied it] was added as prefix when it was conquered by David.
It has been called by many names, of which this is an incomplete list:
- Urushalimum or Urusalim ("Founded by Shalem")
- Salem
- Mount Moriah
- Adonai Urah
- Jebus
- Jerusalem or Yerushalayim
- Zion
- Ir David ("the City of David" - I particularly like that one)
- Ariel ("Lion of God")
- Colonia Aelia Capitolina
- Bayt al-maqdis
- Hierosolyma
- al-Quds_______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
