Sirion

(Heb. Siryon’, ], in Deuteronomy, but in Psalms 29 Shiryon’, ; Samar’. ; Samuel Ver. ; Sept. ; Vulg. Sarion), one of the various names of Mount HERMON SEE HERMON (q.v.), that by which it was known to the Zidonians (Deu 3:9). The word is almost identical with that () which in Hebrew denotes a breastplate, or cuirass; and Gesenius therefore expresses his belief that it was applied in this sense to the mountain just as the name Thorax (which has the same meaning) was given to a mountain in Magnesia. This is not supported by the Samuel Ver., the rendering in which Rabban seems to be equivalent to Jebel esh-Sheik, the ordinary, though not the only modern, name of the mountain.

Sirion

siri-on (, siryon; , Sanior): The name of Mt. Hermon among the Phoenicians (Deu 3:9). It is given as Shirion in Psa 29:6 (Hebrew breastplate or body armor). Here it is named with Lebanon. Sirion therefore probably did not denote a particular part of the Hermon Range, as did Senir, but may have been suggested by the conformation of the range itself, as seen from the heights above the Phoenician coast.
