Altar Horns, Ceramic Pomegranates, and Other Evidence of the Ancient
Jewish Sanctuary at Shiloh
Jan. 17 2020
According to the Bible, the Tabernacle -- the portable shrine
constructed by Moses that served as the precursor to the First Temple
-- was placed in the city of Shiloh, and remained there for most of
the time before the establishment of the monarchy. The archaeologist
Scott Stripling has spent several years excavating Shiloh and has
found evidence suggesting that the city was indeed a center of
Israelite worship, including what appear to be the "horns" (square
protrusions) of an altar and ceramic pomegranates. He discusses his
findings and methods in conversation with Amanda Borschel-Dan. (Audio,
33 minutes. Text is available at the link below.)
