1. zion

   Zion is a biblical term that originally referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion), where a Jebusite fortress stood. In the broader sense, it is also used to refer to the city of Jerusalem, the land of Israel as a whole, or metaphorically to refer to the Jewish people. In the Christian context, it is often related to heaven or the spiritual realm. Moreover, in the Rastafarian belief system, Zion refers to a utopian place of unity, peace and freedom. So, its meaning differs based on the religious or cultural context.

1. Zion

   Zion is a place name often used as a synonym for Jerusalem. The word is first found in Samuel II, 5:7 dating to c.630–540 BCE according to modern scholarship. It commonly referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem, on which stood a Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and was named the City of David. The term Tzion came to designate the area of Jerusalem where the fortress stood, and later became a metonym for Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, the city of Jerusalem and generally, the World to Come. In Kabbalah the more esoteric reference is made to Tzion being the spiritual point from which reality emerges, located in the Holy of Holies of the First, Second and Third Temple.
