Where is Shelah in the Bible?
Shelah, also called Shiloah or Siloam, was a pool located in Jerusalem that served as an important water source for the city. Fed by the Gihon Spring through Hezekiah's Tunnel, this pool is mentioned in the books of Nehemiah, Isaiah, Luke, and John as a significant landmark in Jerusalem's geography. The pool is particularly notable in the New Testament, where Jesus sent a blind man to wash in its waters as part of his healing miracle (John 9:7, 11). Shelah held both practical importance as a water supply during Jerusalem's various periods of siege and development, and spiritual significance in biblical narratives of healing and redemption.
