Shelah, Siloam (place name, pool/aqueduct in Jerusalem)
A place name appearing in Nehemiah 3:15, referring to a pool or water system near Jerusalem's southeastern wall. The fuller designation 'Pool of Shelah' (בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח) appears in construction reports—Shallun repaired the wall of this pool by the King's Garden. This name is equivalent to Shiloah (שִׁלֹחַ) mentioned in Isaiah 8:6 and connects to the Siloam pool and tunnel system that brought water from the Gihon Spring into the city. The root may relate to 'sending' (שָׁלַח), reflecting the water's being 'sent' through channels. The Piel form in Psalm 104:10 uses the same root for sending streams. Modern Arabic preserves the name as Birket Silwan.

1. sense 1 — In Nehemiah 3:15, the phrase 'the Shelah' (הַשֶּׁלַח) appears in the construct 'pool of the Shelah,' identifying a specific water installation. Spanish translates 'el Siloé' (the Siloam), English 'the Shelah,' French and German bracket the Hebrew. The definite article marks this as a known landmark in Jerusalem's topography. The domain assignment to 'Names of Persons and Places' fits the place-name function. This pool system was crucial for Jerusalem's water supply, making its wall militarily and economically significant. The name's connection to Siloam links Nehemiah's construction project to earlier biblical references and to the famous tunnel inscription discovered in the 19th century. 1×
