Гора Сион
Опис
Sion
sunčano; visina, jedno od uzvišenja na kojima je izgrađen Jerusalim. Bio je okružen sa svih strana, osim sa severa, dubokim dolinama, od kojih ga dolina Tiropeon (vidi) odvaja od Morije (vidi), koju nadmašuje visinom od 105 stopa. To je bilo jugoistočno brdo Jerusalima.
Kada ga je David zauzeo od Jevusejaca [IsN 15:63 ; 2Sam 5:7 ], izgradio je na njemu tvrđavu i palatu, i postalo je "Davidov grad" [1Car 8:1 ; 2Car 19:21 , 31; 1Dnv 11:5 ]. U kasnijim knjigama Starog zaveta ovo ime se ponekad koristilo [Ps 87:2 ; Ps 149:2 ; Isa 33:14 ; Joi 2:1 ] da označi Jerusalim uopšte, a ponekad Božji izabrani Izrael [Ps 51:18 ; Ps 87:5 ].
U Novom zavetu (vidi SION T0003448) ponekad se koristi da označi Božju crkvu [Jev 12:22 ], a ponekad nebeski grad [Otk 14:1 ].

Zion
sunny; height, one of the eminences on which Jerusalem was built. It was surrounded on all sides, except the north, by deep valleys, that of the Tyropoeon (q.v.) separating it from Moriah (q.v.), which it surpasses in height by 105 feet. It was the south-eastern hill of Jerusalem.
When David took it from the Jebusites (Josh 15:63; 2Sam 5:7 ) he built on it a citadel and a palace, and it became "the city of David" (1Kings 8:1; 2Kings 19:21; 19:31; 1Chr 11:5). In the later books of the Old Testament this name was sometimes used (Ps 87:2 ; 149:2; Isa 33:14 ; Joel 2:1) to denote Jerusalem in general, and sometimes God's chosen Israel (Ps 51:18 ; 87:5).
In the New Testament (See SION) it is used sometimes to denote the Church of God (Heb 12:22), and sometimes the heavenly city (Rev 14:1).
