___________________________
Logos likewise indicates that IEROUSALHM is genitive. Since the form
hIEROSOLUMA or IEROUSALHM is apparently not used in any case distinction, it
is interesting that Logos/Accordance and BGAD state so confidently that it is
genitive. There are a number of instances listed in both the LXX and the NT
with dat. following. I'm wondering why the confidence that IEROUSALHM is
gen. Any ideas?
