Strong's Lexicon Shiloh: Shiloh Original Word: שִׁילֹה Word Origin: Derived from the root word שָׁלָה (shalah), meaning "to be at rest" or "to be tranquil." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shiloh in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a unique Hebrew term with specific messianic implications. However, the concept of the Messiah is related to Greek terms such as Χριστός (Christos, Strong's G5547), meaning "Anointed One." Usage: Shiloh is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, often interpreted as a messianic title or a place name. It is traditionally understood to mean "He whose it is" or "He to whom it belongs," referring to a figure of peace and rest. In Genesis 49:10, it is used in Jacob's blessing over Judah, indicating a future ruler or messianic figure: "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and the allegiance of the nations is his." Cultural and Historical Background: Shiloh holds both geographical and theological significance. Geographically, it was an ancient city in Ephraim, serving as a central worship site for Israel before the establishment of Jerusalem as the religious capital. The Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were housed there during the period of the Judges. Theologically, Shiloh is seen as a prophetic reference to the coming Messiah, a figure of peace and ultimate authority, anticipated by the Jewish people and fulfilled in Christian belief by Jesus Christ.
