Shiloh
Ancient Israelite city and sanctuary

Shiloh

Shiloh was an ancient city and sanctuary in ancient Israel now located in the West Bank.

According to the Hebrew Bible, Shiloh was one of the main centers of Israelite worship during the pre-monarchic period, before the First Temple in Jerusalem was built. According to the Hebrew Bible, after the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the Tabernacle was moved to Shiloh, and remained there during the period of the Hebrew Bible judges.
