G4622 Σιών (Siṓn)

Σιών, indecl., (its grammat. gend. in the N. T. does not appear from the pass. in which it is mentioned; ef. B. 21 sq. (19); in the Sept. when it denotes the city of Jerusalem ἡ Σιών occurs, as Ps. ci. (cii.) 14, 17; exxxi. (exxxii.) 13; exxxvi. (exxxvii.) 1), Hebr. ΤΟΥ [i. ©. ace. to some, ‘ protected’ or ‘ protecting’; ace. to others, ‘sunny’; al. al.]; Sion [so A. V., but properly (with R. V.)] Zion; 1. the hill on which the higher and more ancient part of Jerusalem was built (WI Wy city of David, because David captured it); it was the southwesternmost and highest of the hills on which the city stood; [many now would identify it with the eastern hill, some with the northern; cf. Furrer in Schenkel iii. 216 sqq.; Aiihlau in Riehm s. v.; per contra Wolcott in B. D. Am. ed.s. v.; Schultz in Herzog ed. 2 vi. p. 543 sq: ]- 2. used very often for the entire city of Jerusalem itself: Ro. ix. 33 and 1 Pet. ii. 6, (after Is. xxviii 16); Ro. xi. 26 (fr. Is. lix. 20); ἡ θυγάτηρ Σιών (see θυγάτηρ, b. B.), Mt. xxi. 5; Jn. xii. 15. 3. Since Jerusalem, because the temple stood there, was called the dwellingplace of God (cf. Mt. v. 35; κύριος τὴν Σιὼν ἠἡρετίσατο εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ, Ps. exxxi. (exxxii.) 13), the expression τὸ Σιὼν ὄρος is transferred to heaven, as the true dwell ing-place of God and heavenly beings, the antitype of the earthly Zion: Heb. xii. 22; Rev. xiv. 1.
