It is used as a symbolic name for Jerusalem, emphasizing its strength and divine protection. In some contexts, it may also refer to an altar hearth, suggesting a place of sacrifice. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the lion was a symbol of strength, courage, and royalty.
