Ezekiel says, “‘ Jerusalem, thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.’* And Jerusalem, the ““IRUSLM” of the Hebrews, was already “a holy city ’ under that non-Hebrew name, and called by its Hittite king about 1375 B.c.

Mus. 12) 1. 31, the word read “‘ Nin-b” is followed by “ biz.” “Tb” and *‘ Nin-ib”’ are defined as the Sun-god Uras (Br. 10480, etc.). “Tb” also means “ enclosure,’’ temple (Br. 10488 and M.D. 1146) and ‘seer or priest ’’ (Br. 10482). b-u-Su thus would mean “ Temple priest of Winged Sun.”’ ‘‘ Jb-w§"’ is also defined as Jb + “‘ Thresher-of-Corn ” (Br. to49r and 4713) and the Jebusite king had his threshing floor on Mt.
