The etymology of the word Jerusalem is much disputed. “The vision of peace,” “the inheritance of peace,” “the foundation of peace,” all have their advocates. Others understand it as compounded of Jebus-salem, _i.e._, Salem of the Jebusites. Throughout the Moslem world it is now known as _El-Kuds_, the holy city, or as _El Kuds esh Shereef_, the holy, noble city. Herodotus is thought to have referred to it as Cadytis. In this case, as in so many others throughout Palestine, the modern Arabic name is simply a return to a more ancient one. Footnote 140: Joshua x. 1. Footnote 141: 2 Sam. v. 6-8. 1 Chron. xi. 4-6. Footnote 142: 2 Sam. v. 9. 1 Kings x. 27. Footnote 143: Matt. xxvi. 3. Footnote 144: The close proximity of the Pool of Hezekiah affords a strong incidental proof that the site of the church must always have been inside the walls.

Footnote 145: John xviii. 28. Footnote 146: Ibid. xix. 3. Footnote 147: Heb. xiii. 11, 12. Footnote 148: Matt. xxvii. 51; Mark xv. 38; Luke xxiii. 45; Heb. x. 19, 20.

See a clear statement of the foregoing argument in a letter by Dr. Hutchinson in the ‘Quarterly Journal of the Palestine Exploration Fund’ for July, 1873; and in a valuable work, ‘Horeb and Sinai,’ by the Rev. G. Sandie. Footnote 150: Mark xiii. 1, 2. Footnote 151: Acts iii. 1-11. Footnote 152: 1 Kings x. 4, 5. Footnote 153: If we adopt Mr. Fergusson’s theory as to the site of the Temple, a line running through the Altar and the Holy of Holies would cut the middle of the Wailing Place.

For my own part I should be disposed to give the preference to the Mosque of Omar. Footnote 158: John vii. 37, 38. It has been often said that the main reservoir was immediately beneath the Altar of Burnt Offering. This, though probable, cannot be affirmed absolutely in our present uncertainty as to where the altar really stood. Footnote 159: 2 Sam. xxiv. 18-25. 2 Chron. iii. 1.

Footnote 163: John xviii. 3. Footnote 164: Matt. xxiii. 35. Footnote 165: 2 Sam. xviii. 18.
