Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to let go."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G4611, Σιλωάμ (Siloam), which refers to the same location, the Pool of Siloam, mentioned in the New Testament. Usage: The term Shiloach is used in the context of describing a water source in Jerusalem. It is mentioned in the context of the city's water supply and has historical and theological significance. Context: Shiloach, also known as the Pool of Siloam, is a notable location in Jerusalem, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is referenced in Isaiah 8:6, where it is described as "the gently flowing waters of Shiloah." This pool was part of the water system that supplied Jerusalem, and it played a crucial role during the reign of King Hezekiah, who constructed a tunnel to bring water from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam, ensuring a secure water supply during times of siege (2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:30). The Pool of Siloam is also significant in the New Testament, where Jesus performs a miracle by healing a man born blind, instructing him to wash in the Pool of Siloam (John 9:7). This act highlights the pool's symbolic importance as a place of healing and divine intervention.
