The name "Salem" is often associated with peace, as it is derived from the Hebrew word "shalom," meaning peace or completeness.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The primary reference to Salem in the Bible is found in <a href="/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a>: "Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High." This passage introduces Melchizedek as both a king and a priest, a unique combination that prefigures the messianic role of Jesus Christ as both King and High Priest.<br><br><a href="/psalms/76-2.htm">Psalm 76:2</a> also mentions Salem: "His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion." This verse poetically links Salem with Zion, suggesting a close association with Jerusalem, which is often considered the same location or closely related.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b> <br>Salem is traditionally identified with Jerusalem, a city of profound importance in biblical history and theology. The association with Melchizedek, a mysterious and revered figure, elevates Salem's significance. Melchizedek's encounter with Abram (later Abraham) is seen as a typological foreshadowing of Christ. <a href="/hebrews/7.htm">Hebrews 7:1-3</a> elaborates on this typology, emphasizing Melchizedek's eternal priesthood and his resemblance to the Son of God.<br><br>Theologically, Salem represents a place of divine encounter and blessing. Melchizedek's offering of bread and wine to Abram is seen by many Christian theologians as a precursor to the Eucharist, symbolizing the future sacrifice of Christ.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Context:</b> <br>In the ancient Near East, city-states were often ruled by kings who also served religious functions. Melchizedek's dual role as king and priest of Salem reflects this cultural context. His worship of "God Most High" indicates a monotheistic belief system that aligns with the worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel.<br><br><b>Interpretations and Debates:</b> <br>There is some debate among scholars regarding the exact location of Salem. While the traditional view equates Salem with Jerusalem, some propose alternative locations based on archaeological and textual evidence. However, the identification with Jerusalem remains the most widely accepted interpretation within conservative Christian scholarship.<br><br><b>Legacy and Influence:</b> <br>Salem's legacy is enduring, as it is intricately linked with the identity of Jerusalem, a city central to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. The figure of Melchizedek and his association with Salem continue to inspire theological reflection and discourse, particularly concerning the nature of Christ's priesthood and kingship.<br><br>In summary, Salem is a biblically and theologically rich location, symbolizing peace, divine blessing, and the foreshadowing of Christ's eternal priesthood. Its connection to Melchizedek and Jerusalem underscores its enduring significance in the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Salem</span><p>complete or perfect peace<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Salem</span><p>(<i>peace</i>). <ol> <li>The place of which Melchizedek was king. (<a href="/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a>; <a href="/hebrews/7-1.htm">Hebrews 7:1,2</a>) No satisfactory identification of it is perhaps possible. Two main opinions have been current from the earliest ages of interpretation: (1). That of the Jewish commentators, who affirm that Salem is Jerusalem, on the ground that Jerusalem is so called in (<a href="/psalms/76-2.htm">Psalms 76:2</a>) Nearly all Jewish commentators hold this opinion. (2). Jerome, however, states that the Salem of Melchizedek was not Jerusalem, but a town eight Roman miles south of Scythopolis, and gives its then name as Salumias, and identifies it with Salem, where John baptized.</li> <li>(<a href="/psalms/76-2.htm">Psalms 76:2</a>) it is agreed on all hands that Salem is here employed for Jerusalem.</li> </ol><a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Salem</span><p>Peace </p><p>1.

Identification and Meaning:<br><br>To all appearance it lay near "the Vale of Shaveh," described as "the King's Vale." The general opinion among the Jews was that Salem was the same as Jerusalem, as stated by Josephus (Ant., I, x, 2), who adds (VII, iii, 2) that it was known as Solyma (Saluma, variants, according to Whiston, Salem and Hierosolyma) in the time of Abraham. It was also reported that the city and its temple were called Solyma by Homer, and he adds that the name in Hebrew means "security." This identification with Jerusalem was accepted by Onkelos and all the Targums, as well as by the early Christians. The Samaritans have always identified Salem with Salim, East of Nablus, but Jewish and Christian tradition is more likely to be correct, supported, as it is, by <a href="/psalms/76-2.htm">Psalm 76:2</a>.<br><br>2. Testimony of Tell el-Amarna Tablets:<br><br>The testimony of the Tell el-Amarna Letters is apparently negative. Knudtzon's number 287 mentions "the land" and "the lands of Urusalim," twice with the prefix for "city"; number 289 likewise has this prefix twice; and number 290 refers to "the city" or "a city of the land Urusalim called Bit-Ninip" Tablets (Beth-Anusat (?)). As there is no prefix of any kind before the element salim, it is not probable that this is the name of either a man (the city's founder) or a god (like the Assyrian Sulmanu). The form in Sennacherib's inscriptions (compare Taylor Cylinder, III, 50), Ursalimmu, gives the whole as a single word in the nominative, the double "m" implying that the "i" was long. As the Assyrians pronounced "s" as "sh", it is likely that the Urusalimites did the same, hence, the Hebrew yerushalaim, with "sh".<br><br>See <a href="../j/jerusalem.htm">JERUSALEM</a>.<br><br>T. G.
