Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4622: Σιών (Sion) - Used in the New Testament to refer to Zion, maintaining its symbolic and spiritual significance. Usage: In the Bible, "Zion" primarily refers to a specific hill in Jerusalem, which is the site of the ancient Jebusite city captured by King David. Over time, the term expanded to represent the entire city of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God, and symbolically, the people of Israel. Zion is often used in a spiritual sense to denote the heavenly Jerusalem or the ultimate dwelling place of God with His people. Cultural and Historical Background: Zion holds significant cultural and religious importance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. In Jewish history, it is the location of the City of David and the Temple Mount, making it a central place of worship and pilgrimage. For Christians, Zion is symbolic of God's eternal kingdom and the fulfillment of His promises. Historically, Zion has been a focal point of conflict and devotion, representing both the physical and spiritual center of God's covenant with His people.
