Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G4532, Σαλήμ (Salem), which appears in the New Testament in Hebrews 7:1-2, referring to Melchizedek, the king of Salem, and linking the city to the concept of peace and righteousness. Usage: The term "Shalem" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a city, which is traditionally identified with Jerusalem. It appears in the context of a historical narrative. Context: Shalem is mentioned in Genesis 33:18, where it is described as a city of Shechem in the land of Canaan. The passage recounts Jacob's journey after reconciling with his brother Esau: "After Jacob came from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped in front of the city." (Genesis 33:18, BSB). The name Shalem is often associated with peace and completeness, reflecting its etymological roots. Some scholars suggest that Shalem is an early name for Jerusalem, drawing connections to Melchizedek, the king of Salem, mentioned in Genesis 14:18. This association is further supported by Psalm 76:2, which refers to Salem as a dwelling place of God, reinforcing its significance in biblical history and theology.
