However, the concept of a "holy city" can be related to Hebrew terms like קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, meaning "holy") and עִיר (ir, meaning "city").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Hierapolis is a city mentioned in the New Testament, known for its religious significance and its location in the region of Phrygia in Asia Minor. The name means "holy city," reflecting its status as a center of pagan worship and later as a Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Hierapolis was an ancient city located near modern-day Pamukkale in Turkey. It was famous for its hot springs, which were believed to have healing properties. The city was a significant center for Greco-Roman culture and religion, with numerous temples and a thriving textile industry. In the early Christian era, Hierapolis became an important center for the spread of Christianity. The Apostle Philip is traditionally believed to have been martyred there, and the city hosted a Christian community by the time of the Apostle Paul.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2413.htm">hieros</a> and <a href="/greek/4172.htm">polis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Hierapolis, a city in Asia<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hierapolis (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2404: Ἱεράπολις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἱεράπολις</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἱερά</span> <span class="greek2">Πόλις</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 74; <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span> 604f), <span class="greek2">ἱερεαπολεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Hierapolis,</span> a city of Greater Phrygia, near the river Maeander (or rather, near the Lycus a few miles above its junction with the Maeander), not far from Colossae and Laodicea, now Pambuck Kulasi (for references see <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> on Col., p. 1f; <span class="abbreviation">B.
