Inhabitant of Zion

The terms cry out, shout, inhabitant, and thee are feminine forms in the Hebrew and personify Christ’s bride who is ready to be received by the Holy One of Israel. Zion is depicted as the bride elsewhere (54:1-6; Rev. 21:2, 9; D&C 109:73-74), and Jehovah is portrayed as the husband (54:5). Zion’s inhabitants are the pure in heart (D&C 97:21).
