Maganda ang kinalalagyan, ang kagalakan ng buong lupa, ang Bundok ng Zion sa gawing hilaga, ang lungsod ng dakilang hari.

Now, whoever knows this secret will know the secret of the verse,207Ruth 4:17 – The verse refers to the birth of Oved, the father of Yishai, the father of David, to Ruth, as stated in the continuation of the verse. “The [female] neighbors-Shecheinot-שכנות gave him a name, saying, ‘A son was born to Na’ami.’” This is because the child that was born was rooted primarily in the above-mentioned places, and therefore inherited the special inheritance between the two Shechinot-שכנות, [the upper Shechinah and the lower Shechinah]. This is the secret of the verse,208Psalms 48:3 “Mount Zion-Har Tziyon-הר ציון, the summit of the North-Tzafon-צפון,” and it states,209Psalms 133:3 “As the dew-Tal-טל of Hermon descends upon the Mountains of Zion-Harerei Tziyon-הררי ציון, for there HaShem-יהו״ה commanded the blessing-HaBrachah-הברכה – Life-Chayim-חיים is there forever,” and it states,210Samuel II 5:7 “Zion-ציון, this is the City of David-Eer David-עיר דוד.” Understand this well.
