PRINT DESCRIPTION : Shiloh was an ancient city in Samaria mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament. It has been positively identified with modern Khirbet Seilun, a tell or archaeological mound, called in Modern Hebrew Tel Shiloh. It is located in the West Bank, to the west of the modern Israeli settlement town of Shilo and to the north of the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya. Relative to other archaeological sites, it is south of ancient Lebonah and 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of Bethel. Shiloh was the major Israelite worship centre before the first Temple was built in Jerusalem. When the Israelites arrived in the land, they set up there the ancient wilderness tent shrine (the Tent of Meeting: Heb. Ohel-Mo’ed). There Joshua and Eleazar divided the land among the tribes who had not yet received their allocation (Joshua 18:1–10) and dealt with the allocation of cities to the Levites (Joshua 21:1–8). Subsequently, Shiloh became one of the leading religious shrines in ancient Israel, a status it held until shortly before David’s elevation of Jerusalem. The whole congregation of Israel assembled together at Shiloh and set up the tent (or tabernacle) of the congregation there. The tabernacle had been built under Moses’ direction from God (Exodus 26) to house the Ark of the Covenant, also built under Moses’ direction from God (Exodus 25). According to Talmudic sources, the tent sanctuary remained at Shiloh for 369 years until the Ark of the Covenant was taken into the battle camp at Eben-Ezer (1 Samuel 4:3–5) and captured by the Philistines at Aphek (probably Antipatris). At some point during its long stay at Shiloh, the portable tent seems to have been enclosed within a compound — a Greek “temenos”. It was at Shiloh that Eli and Samuel ministered (1 Samuel 3:21) and Shiloh was the site of a physical structure that had “doors” (1 Samuel 3:21). At some point, the Tent of Meeting was moved to Gibeon, which became an Israelite holy site under David and Solomon. Shiloh was one of the main centers of Israelite worship during the pre-monarchic period, by virtue of the presence there of the Tent Shrine and Ark of the Covenant. The people made pilgrimages there for major feasts and sacrifices, and Judges 21 records the place as the site of an annual dance of maidens among the vineyards. According to 1 Samuel 1–3, the sanctuary at Shiloh was administered by the Aaronite high priest Eli and his two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. According to this account, the young Samuel was dedicated by his mother Hannah there, to be raised at the shrine by the high priest, and his own prophetic ministry is presented as having begun there. Hophni and Phinehas are noted as malicious in their dealings with those who came to the shrine to offer sacrifices (1 Samuel 2:12–17). It was under Eli and his sons that the Ark was lost to Israel in a battle with the Philistines at Aphek. W.F. Albright, hypothesized that the Philistines also destroyed Shiloh at this time; this conclusion is disputed,[10] but supported by traditional commentary. The place may have been destroyed later as well, and the biblical text records no such claimed destruction. Certainly, the shadowy figure of Ahijah the Shilonite, who instigated the revolt of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, against David’s grandson Rehoboam (I Kings 11, 14), came from there, and he bore the same name as the Aaronite priest that consulted the Ark for Saul in I Samuel 14:3. Schley has claimed that the capture of the Ark and the death of Saul occurred in the same battle and that the later Davidic editors redacted the texts to make it appear as if Saul had ruled without either Tent Shrine or Ark, and thus without sacral legitimacy. This claim is disputed. What is certain is that during the prophetic ministry of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 7:12–15; 26:5–9, 41:5) over three hundred years later, Shiloh had been reduced to ruins. Jeremiah used the example of Shiloh to warn the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem what Yahweh Elohim will do to the “place where I caused my name to dwell,” warning them that their holy city, Jerusalem, like Shiloh, could fall under divine judgment. Whether so much credit is due to the traditions which point out this spot as the ancient Silo, is fairly questioned by modern writers. Dr. Robinson, who visited the village of Seilun, speaks with great confidence of its being the Shiloh of Scripture. His guide had spoken of this place as lying to the north-east of Sindschil, or Sinjil, and stated that there was a saying among his people, that if the Franks were to visit it, they would deem it of such importance as not to leave it in less than a day. ” The proofs,” he adds, ” that Seilun is actually the site of the ancient Shiloh, lie within a very small compass; and both the name and position are sufficiently decisive. The full form of the Hebrew name was apparently Shilon, as we find it in the Gentile noun Shilonite ; and Josephus writes it also both Silo and Siloun.” In support of this opinion, we have the passage in the book of Judges, in which Shiloh is said to be ” on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah ;” a description which closely answers .to the present site of Seilun. AN EXTREMELY RARE VIEW OF 1800s MIDDLE EASTERN LANDSCAPE! VERY HARD TO FIND!
