Strong's Lexicon tsayon: Zion Original Word: צִיוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root צִיָּה (tsiyah), meaning "dry" or "parched." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4622 (Σιών, Sion): Used in the New Testament to refer to Zion, maintaining its symbolic and theological significance as the city of God and the center of His redemptive work. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "Zion" primarily refers to a specific hill in Jerusalem, which is the site of the ancient Jebusite fortress captured by King David. Over time, the term expanded to represent the city of Jerusalem as a whole, the dwelling place of God, and, symbolically, the people of Israel. Zion is often used in prophetic and poetic literature to denote the spiritual and eschatological center of God's kingdom. Cultural and Historical Background: Zion holds a central place in Jewish and Christian theology. Historically, it was the location of the Davidic monarchy and the First and Second Temples, making it a focal point of Jewish worship and identity. In the prophetic writings, Zion is depicted as the future site of God's ultimate reign and the gathering place for His people. Theologically, Zion represents God's presence, covenant faithfulness, and the hope of redemption.
