Exegesis
Finally, el-har {אֶל־הַ֖ר | ʾel-ḥār} ‘to the mountain’ plus batt-siyon {בַּת־צִיּֽוֹן | batt-ṣīyōn} ‘daughter of Zion’ marks the endpoint. This sequence of place expressions conveys a continuous ritual journey toward Zion, reflecting Hebrew’s concise narrative style.
In context — Isaiah 16:1
Dispatch a lamb to the ruler of the land, sending it from Sela toward the wilderness and up to the mount of the daughter of Zion .
