Usage: Shiloach, or Siloam, refers to a pool in Jerusalem that is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the sending forth of water and is often linked to themes of healing and divine provision.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Pool of Siloam was an important water source in ancient Jerusalem, located at the southern end of the City of David. It was fed by the Gihon Spring through Hezekiah's Tunnel, an engineering marvel of its time. The pool served both practical and ritual purposes, providing water for the city and being used in religious ceremonies. In the New Testament, it is noted for its association with Jesus' healing of the man born blind.
