shiloh

Shiloh
    n 1: the second great battle of the American Civil War (1862);
         the battle ended with the withdrawal of Confederate troops
         but it was not a Union victory [syn: {Shiloh}, {battle of
         Shiloh}, {battle of Pittsburgh Landing}]
    

Shiloh \Shi"loh\ (sh[imac]"l[=o]), n. [Heb. sh[imac]l[=o]h,
   literally, quiet, rest, fr. sh[=a]l[=a]h to rest.] (Script.)
   A word used by Jacob on his deathbed, and interpreted
   variously, as "the Messiah," or as the city "Shiloh," or as
   "Rest."
   [1913 Webster]
    

Shiloh
generally understood as denoting the Messiah, "the peaceful
one," as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version
translates the word, "he who is to be sent," in allusion to the
Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, "till he come to Shiloh;"
and the LXX., "until that which is his shall come to Shiloh." It
is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the
Authorized Version, "till Shiloh come," interpreting it as a
proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6).

  Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, "on the north side
of Bethel," from which it is distant 10 miles (Judg. 21:19); the
modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a "mass of shapeless
ruins." Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh.
18:1-10), where it remained during all the period of the judges
till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. "No spot in
Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early
sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around;
so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot
that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr.
Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown." It is
referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4-9) five hundred years
after its destruction.
