- W2300948927 abstract "THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLE OF SHILOH Nearly a third of the Book of Exodus deals with the Tabernacle of the wilderness. That portable temple served the newly formed Jewish nation during the forty-year span between the Exodus from Egypt and their entry into the Land of Israel. What became of that Tabernacle once Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River? The Book of Joshua implies that the Tabernacle was first set up in Gilgal during the conquest and division of the Land (Josh. 4:19 and 5:10). That same book explicitly records that the Tabernacle was later erected in Shiloh: The entire congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and they set up the tent of meeting there ... (Josh. 18:1). Centuries later, when trying to awaken his fellow Jews from their unjustified feeling of security, the prophet Jeremiah warned Israel that unless they repented, their magnificent Temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed by their enemies. In the course of his stern admonitions, Jeremiah emphasized that the Temple faced the same fate that had befallen the Tabernacle of Shiloh years earlier: For go to My place at Shiloh, where I first caused My Name to dwell, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel (Jer. 7:12). I shall do to the House which bears My Name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your ancestors, just what I did to Shiloh (Jer. 7:14). (1) Maimonides offers some clarity regarding the history of the Tabernacle. Basing himself on the Mishnah (Zevahim 14:6) and Talmud (TB Zevahim 118), Maimonides writes: Once they entered the Land [of Israel], they established the Tabernacle in Gilgal [where it stood] for the 14 years that they conquered and divided the land. From there they went to Shiloh, where a stone house was built, and it was covered with the Tabernacle's curtains--as opposed to a solid roof. For 369 years the sanctuary stood in Shiloh. On the death of Eli it was destroyed, whereupon they came and built a sanctuary at Nob. On the death of Samuel it was destroyed, whereupon they came and built a sanctuary at Gibeon. From Gibeon they came to the Temple in Jerusalem. The length of time [of the Tabernacle] in Nob and Gibeon was 57 years. (2) Thus, Jewish tradition maintains that after serving as the spiritual center of Israel for 369 years, the Tabernacle of Shiloh was destroyed. Surprisingly, nowhere in the Book of Samuel does the text offer an account of this event. In I Samuel, chapter 4, we learn of the defeat of Israel's forces at the hands of the Philistines, who also temporarily held on to the Ark of the Covenant. Nowhere in that chapter, however, is mention made of the victorious Philistines proceeding to destroy the Tabernacle of Shiloh. Nonetheless, it is clear from Jeremiah's warnings of the Temple's impending destruction that the Tabernacle of Shiloh had also met a violent end. (3) Moreover, several statements in the Talmud (4) and many later sources (5) indicate that, according to Jewish tradition, the Tabernacle of Shiloh was in fact destroyed by Philistine warriors. THREE PROBLEMS As shown above, Jewish tradition maintains that after the Tabernacle of Shiloh was destroyed, it was soon reestablished in Nob. This raises several problems: A) The building of the original Tabernacle involved a huge national effort. As recorded in great detail in the Book of Exodus, this project took a good deal of time and required a massive campaign to raise the funds and materials needed for the Tabernacle's assembly. If the Philistines did in fact destroy the Tabernacle of Shiloh, logic would dictate that another campaign--along the lines of the one in the Book of Exodus--should have been necessary in order to rebuild the Tabernacle in Nob. Yet we find no mention of an emergency campaign to rebuild the Tabernacle following the Philistines' sack of Shiloh. From all accounts, though, it seems as if the Tabernacle was quickly rebuilt in Nob following its destruction in Shiloh. …" @default.
