The description given of him by Ebed-Tobexplains what has puzzled us so long in the person of Melchizedek.
The origin of the name of Jerusalem also is now cleared up. It was noinvention of the age of David; on the contrary, it goes back to theperiod of Babylonian intercourse with Canaan. It is written in thecuneiform documents Uru-Salim, "the city of Salim, " the god of peace. One of the lexical tablets from the library of Nineveh has long agoinformed us that in one of the languages known to th
...e Babylonians _uru_was the equivalent of the Babylonian _alu_, "a city, " and we now knowthat this language was that of Canaan. It would even seem that the wordhad originally been brought from Babylonia itself in the days whenBabylonian writing and culture first penetrated to the West. In theSumerian or pre-Semitic language of Chaldæa _eri_ signified a "city, "and _eri_ in the pronunciation of the Semites became _uru_. Hence it wasthat Uru or Ur, the birthplace of Abraham, received its name at a timewhen it was the ruling city of Babylonia, and though the SemiticBabylonians themselves never adopted the word in common life it made itsway to Canaan.
