(ἡ) :
indécl.
1. la colline de Sion, à Jérusalem [mot hébreu];
2. Sion (VS), ville natale de l’auteur de ce dictionnaire [du celtique Sedunum ; cf. Ῥοδανός].

English (Strong)

of Hebrew origin (צִיּוֹן); Sion (i.e. Tsijon), a hill of Jerusalem; figuratively, the Church (militant or triumphant): Sion.

English (Thayer)

indeclinable (its grammatical gender in the N. T. does not appear from the passages in which it is mentioned; cf. Buttmann, 21 f (19); in the Sept. when it denotes the city of JerusalemΣιών occurs, as צִיון (i. e. according to some, 'protected' or 'protecting'; according to others, 'sunny'; others besides); 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 (דָּוִד עִיר, 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. 216ff; Mühlau in Riehm, under the word; per contra Wolcott in B. D. American edition, under the word; Schultz in Herzog edition 2vi., p. 543 f).
2. used very often for the entire city of Jerusalem itself: ἡ θυγάτηρ Σιών (see θυγάτηρ, b.β'.), κύριος τήν Σιών ᾑρετίσατο εἰς κατοικίαν ἑαυτῷ, τό Σιών ὄρος is transferred to heaven, as the true dwelling-place of God and heavenly beings, the antitype of the earthly Zion: Revelation 14:1.
