Moses' geographical summary identifies Mount Hermon by multiple names, including Sion (distinct from Zion, Jerusalem's mount). The same peak could bear different names among different peoples—Sidonians called it Sirion, Amorites called it Senir. Such toponymic variation reflects the multilingual, multicultural landscape of ancient Canaan. Mountain naming often involved multiple layers of tradition as peoples conquered or migrated through regions. This Sion is clearly northern (Hermon's region), not southern (Jerusalem).
