Definition: The word "xylon" appears in the Bible more than once, but its precise meaning varies depending on context. Typically, it refers to an ancient or historic town located near modern-day Jerusalem (or sometimes even in a place named Jerusalem). The exact location is often uncertain, with various biblical references suggesting different locations have existed since ancient times. The word "xylon" is also commonly associated with the Book of Psalms, where it is frequently used as a metaphor for God's love and presence, including in verses such as Psalm 107:19-24.
