DAY 10 - SHILOH, bethlehem shepherd’s field

After a good breakfast, we will head for Shiloh! Imagine standing where the holy tabernacle was originally established. Shiloh, nestled in the hills of Ephraim, is where God first made His Name abide for well over three centuries. It is rich in biblical history and the location of one of Israel’s greatest prophets, Samuel. It was at Shiloh where Hannah prayed for a son. It was at Shiloh where the boy, Samuel, heard the voice of God. It was at Shiloh that the high priest, Eli, fell and died at the news of the defeat and capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines. Today, Tel Shiloh is a treasure trove where archaeological excavations progress each year. There is always something new to see. Tel Shiloh also boasts one of the best souvenir shops, full of locally made crafts and wines. The whole congregation of Israel assembled together at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. Joshua 18:1 Deby has been on the archaeological team for the past two seasons of excavations and will have first-hand information to share. Under the leadership of Dr. Scott Stripling, we believe we have found the tabernacle. Deby helped excavate in the Holy of Holies at one point. The team has discovered significant artifacts, including a gate complex at the northern edge of the city, a gate chamber as well as much pottery, jewelry and gold coins. They have also found rare altar horns on stone blocks, which Stripling believes may have adorned an altar used during the Israelites' first capital period. This is the place where Scripture says that Joshua and Eleazar divided the land among the tribes (Joshua 18:1–10). In addition, young Samuel was dedicated by his mother Hannah at Shiloh. Deby will introduce you to the site, and you will stand in the Holy of Holies. Our last visit will be to Bethlehem at the Shepherd’s Field and cave, the birthplace of Yeshua.

Overnight at the Prima Kings Hotel

Optional evening plans: We will visit the lively Machene Yehuda Market where we will see vendors selling their wares in the streets. This is an active evening place to be! You will also have the option to do some outdoor shopping at Ben Yehuda Street.
