There is a great and extensive meaning in this word as used by the Hebrews. It doth not simply mean where nothing is spoken, but a certain complacency and delight. Thus the Lord himself is said by the prophet to rest in his love, or as the margin of the Bible renders it, he will be silent in his love. (Zephaniah 3:17) In relation to the ordinary silence of the Hebrews, I refer to the word Salutation. SILOAM. This was a pool under the walls of Jerusalem, between the city and the brook Cedron. The prophet Isaiah speaks of it as the waters of Shiloah. (Isaiah 8:6) The name is derived from Shiloah, meaning sent. (See John 9:1-41 throughout.)
