Jebusi
Jebusi
(Heb. Yebusi’), a word used in the original of a place and its inhabitants.
1. Jebusi ( =theJebusite; Sept. , , Vulg. Jebusceus), the name employed for the city of JEBUS, only in the ancient document describing the landmarks and the towns of the allotment of Judah and Benjamin (Jos 15:8; Jos 18:16; Jos 18:28). In the first and last place, the explanatory words, which is Jerusalem, are added. In the first, however, our translators have given it as the Jebusite. A parallel to this mode of designating the town by its inhabitants is found in this very list in Zemaraim (Jos 18:22), Avim (Jos 18:23), Ophni (Jos 18:24), and Japhletite (jos 16:3), etc.
2. Jebusite or Jebusites, forms indiscriminately employed in the A.Vers., although in the original the name, whether applied to individuals or to thenation, is never found in the plural; always singular. The full form is; but in a few places viz. 2 Samuel 5, 6; 2Sa 24:16; 2Sa 24:18; 1Ch 21:18 only–it is defectively written . Without the article, it occurs in 2Sa 5:8; 1Ch 11:6; Zec 9:7. In the first two of these the force is much increased by removing the article introduced in- the A. Vers., and reading and smiteth a Jebusite. See JEBUSITE
