1. Shiloh (place name) — The proper noun Shiloh, a major Israelite cultic center in the hill country of Ephraim where the Tabernacle was stationed from the conquest until the early monarchy. Shiloh features prominently in the tribal allotment (Josh 18:1, 18:8-10, 19:51, 21:2, 22:9, 22:12), the annual festival and the Benjaminite wives episode (Judg 21:12, 21:19, 21:21), the Samuel narratives (1 Sam 1:3, 1:9, 1:24, 2:14, 3:21, 4:3-4, 14:3), the Ahijah prophecy (1 Kgs 2:27, 11:29, 14:2-4), and the prophetic warning of its destruction (Jer 7:12, 7:14, 26:6, 26:9, 41:5, Ps 78:60). All three sense clusters represent prepositional variants of the same toponym: beth/lamed 'in/at/to Shiloh' (27x), min 'from Shiloh' (3x), and kaph 'like Shiloh' (2x). Multilingual evidence is uniform: Spanish 'Silo/Shilo,' Arabic 'shiluh,' Hindi 'shilo,' Korean 'sillo,' Swahili 'Shilo.' 32×
