Brown-Driver-Briggs שִׂיאֹן proper name, of a mountain, i.e. Hermon, ׳הַר שׂ הוּא חֶרְמוֺן Deuteronomy 4:48 (compare Di Dr). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂאָה (sā'â), which means "to be high" or "to be elevated."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4622: Σιών (Sion) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to Zion, often in a spiritual or symbolic sense, representing the heavenly Jerusalem or the people of God. It is important to note that while the Greek term Σιών (Sion) is used in the New Testament, it generally corresponds to the Hebrew צִיּוֹן (Zion) rather than שִׂיאֹן (Sion). Usage: The term "Sion" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a particular mountain, distinct from Zion, which is often associated with Jerusalem. In Deuteronomy 4:48, Sion is mentioned as part of the boundary description of the land given to the Israelites. Context: Sion is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a mountain, specifically identified with Mount Hermon. This mountain is located in the northern part of the land of Israel, forming part of the boundary of the Promised Land as described in the Old Testament. In Deuteronomy 4:48, the text states: "from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon)." This indicates that Sion is synonymous with Mount Hermon, a significant landmark in the biblical narrative. The mountain is noted for its height and prominence, serving as a natural boundary and a symbol of the northern extent of the Israelite territory. The distinction between Sion and Zion is important, as Zion typically refers to the city of Jerusalem or the hill upon which the city is built, whereas Sion is associated with the northern mountain range.
