Jerusalem.
Ierusalem.
This is the appellation of the City. As Canaan was a figure of heaven; either of them called the Land of Promise: so local Jerusalem is a type of this mystical City. There are many conceits concerning the denomination of Jerusalem. Hierom thinks that the former part of the word comes from the Greek [Greek or Hebrew], Holy: because Jerusalem is called othe holy City: But then there should be a ⟨p. 32⟩mixture of two several languages, Greek and Hebrew, to the making up of the word. The Hebrews derive it better: they say, Shem called it Salem, Peace: and Abraham Iireh. The place where he attempted the sacrifice of his son, he called pJehovah-Iireh: The Lord will see. Thus put together it is Jerusalem, visiopacis. This is more probable, then from the Greek [Greek or Hebrew], as Jerome: or from Jebus, as Pererius. This is evident from the 76. Psalm. ver. 2. In Salem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. So that Salem & Zion were both in one place. The Jews have a Tradition; that in one and the same place Cain and Abel offered, in the same place Noah coming out of the Ark sacrificed, in the same place Abraham offered Isaac, in the same place stood Areunah's threshing floor which David bought, in the same place Melchizedek the Priest dwelt, in the same place Solomon built the Temple, and our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified.
