What is the meaning of the term Shiloh?

Response

The term Shiloh is found 33 times in the Old Testament, with nearly all instances referring to a town in Ephraim, situated approximately 24 miles north of Jerusalem. Figures like Joshua, Eli, and Samuel were closely linked to Shiloh, which served as the location of the tabernacle for an extended period.

Within the Bible, Shiloh is mentioned in a messianic prophecy. Genesis 49:10 reads,

“The scepter shall not depart from Judah,

Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,

Until Shiloh comes;

And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples” (NKJV).
