• Itations from the Kebra Nagast concerning Zion

"And I swear by Myself and by Zion, the Tabernacle of My covenant, which I have created for a mercy seat and for the salvation of men, and in the latter days I will make it to come down to thy seed, that I will have pleasure in the offerings of thy children upon earth, and the Tabernacle of My Covenant shall be with them for ever.  And when a cloud hath appeared in the sky, so that they may not fear and may not imagine that a flood is coming, I will make to come down from My habitation of Zion, the Bow of My Covenant, that is to say, the rainbow, which shall crown the Tabernacle of My Law.   And it shall come to pass that, when their sins multiply, and I am wishful to be wroth with them, I will remember the Tabernacle of My Covenant, and I will set the rainbow in the sky, and I will put away Mine anger and will send My compassion.  And I will not forget My word, and that which hath gone forth from My mouth I will not overlook.  Though heaven and earth pass away My word shall not pass away."
Jah's Covenant with Noah.  

• Itations from the Psalms concerning Zion

His foundation is in the holy mountains.  The Lord loveth the gates of  Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.  Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. I will make mention of Rabhab and babylon to them that know me; behold Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this Man was born there.  And of Zion it shall be said, This and that Man were born in her, and the Highest Himself shall establish her.  The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this Man was born there. Selah.  The singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there ; all my springs are in thee.  Psalm 87.

•  Itations from Genesis concerning Zion

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.  And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.  The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hav'ilah, where there is gold;  And the gold of that is good: there bdellium and the onyx stone.  And the name of the second river is Gi'hon; the same is that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.  Genesis 2:8-13
