Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Upon the appointed mount.11A. V. The mount of the congregation. Upon mount Zion, which is the place appointed by the Lord for His sanctuary; comp. מועדי אל the synagogues of God (Ps. 74:8). This explanation is confirmed by the words which follow: in the sides of the north; for Zion was in the north of Jerusalem.12Comp. Ps. 48:3, Mount Zion, on the sides of the north. I. E. remarks, בצפון ירדשלים on the north side of Jerusalem. Some critics questioned, in consequence of this remark, the veracity of the account which narrates the visit of I. E. to Jerusalem, because by nearly all recent descriptions of the holy city, Zion is to the south of it. But a distinction must be made between עיר דוד the city of David, which is also called מצדת ציון, the stronghold of Zion, or ציון Zion, and הר ציון the mount Zion. Whatever position antiquarians assign to the former, the latter was to the prophets and poets of the Bible identical with the mount of the house of the Lord, the holy mount, and is therefore in the north, or, more accurately, in the north-east of the old city of Jerusalem. Comp. Ez. 40:2.
