Please replace "Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələmˌ -zə-/ jə-ROO-sə-ləm, -zə-; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim, pronounced [jeʁuʃaˈlajim] ⓘ; Arabic: القُدس al-Quds, pronounced [al.quds]" by "Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələmˌ -zə-/ jə-ROO-sə-ləm, -zə-; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim, pronounced [jeʁuʃaˈlajim] ⓘ;Arabic: اورشليم, Ûrshalîm, Modern Arabic: القُدس al-Quds, pronounced [al.quds]"
The modern Arabic name of Jerusalem is اَلْـقُـدْس al-Quds, and its first recorded use can be traced to the 9th century CE, two hundred years after the Muslim conquest of the city. Christians arab still use the اورشليم (Ûrshalîm) name 202.22.226.143 (talk) 10:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Consider changing "Jews" here to "Israelites": "Modern scholars argue that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture." The word "Jew" is generally used from the Second Temple period onwards. Before the Babylonian exile, the correct term is Israelites. This is discussed in From the Maccabees to the Mishnah by Shaye J.D. Cohen pages 8-9. Isaachier (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
