Strong's Lexicon Yebusi: Jebusite Original Word: יְבוּסִי Word Origin: Derived from יְבוּס (Yebus), the name of a Canaanite city, later known as Jerusalem. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yebusi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek term for Jerusalem, Ἱεροσόλυμα (Hierosolyma), is related to the city that was once Jebusite. Usage: The term "Yebusi" refers to the Jebusites, a Canaanite tribe that inhabited the land around Jerusalem prior to its conquest by the Israelites. The Jebusites are often mentioned in the context of the peoples that Israel was commanded to dispossess from the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: The Jebusites were one of the several Canaanite tribes living in the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. They are believed to have been a significant and established group, with their stronghold in the city of Jebus, which later became Jerusalem. The Jebusites are noted for their fortified city, which was eventually captured by King David, making it the political and spiritual center of Israel.
