Jerusalem
It is also called Salem, Ariel, Jebus, “city of God,” “holy city,” and “City of David.” The name in the original dual form means “possession of peace,” or “foundation of peace.” The dual form probably refers to the two mountains on which the city was built, Zion and Moriah. It is situated on the central mountain ridge of Palestine, almost exactly opposite the north tip of the Dead Sea, 36 miles east of the Mediterranean and 16 miles west of the Dead Sea (in a straight line). The city’s altitude is between 2,100 and 2,526 feet above sea level.
