锡安山
描述
锡安
阳光明媚;高地,是耶路撒冷建造在其上的一个高地。除了北面,它四周被深谷环绕,提罗坡安谷将其与摩利亚分隔开来(参见)。其高度比摩利亚高出105英尺。它是耶路撒冷的东南山丘。
当大卫从耶布斯人手中夺取它时([书 15:63 ; 撒上 5:7 ]),他在上面建造了一座城堡和宫殿,并成为“大卫之城”([王上 8:1 ; 王下 19:21 , 31; 代上 11:5 ])。在旧约的后期书中,这个名字有时用来表示整个耶路撒冷,有时表示上帝所选的以色列([诗 87:2 ; 149:2; 赛 33:14 ; 珥 2:1 ])。
在新约中(见 SION T0003448),有时用来表示上帝的教会([来 12:22 ]),有时表示天上的城市([启 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).
