Mount Zion is one location in the Bible that is mentioned over and over. It is where life flows.
But what is mount Zion? I am not sure if the location itself was called Mount Zion or people just knew that, that mountain was mount zion.
There is no definite meaning of mount zion apart from it is a hill in Jerusalem.
I wont know why they decided not to give the meaning but I think Psalms 2: 6 sort of give us an idea. It says: I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.
Zion is a holy mountain. I think that is enough for decoding. In paleo Hebrew Zion is Sion, Tzion, Tsion, Tsiyyon. Because there are too many of these I will choose Sion.
Sion is coming from the word sinner (isoni) or izoni in Nguni. So why would God call His mountain a sinner. I think this is another case of omitted word like Temple (Ntlo Ya Thapelo). Sion could not be the name of the montain unless you add another word and that word I would add is: Without.
So it would be called a mountain without sinner(s) like this:
Zoni was a matter of moving one letter I from the end to fit between Z and O.
There you have it Zion from Zoni.
So it would not be Mountain of Sinners clearly if it is holy.
It was called Intaba engenazoni.
