Shiloh, Israel: The Incredible Biblical Site Where the Tabernacle Stood

Biblical Shiloh, located in the hill country of Samaria about 26 miles (42 km) north of Jerusalem, is one of the most significant sites in the Bible. Known as the place where the tabernacle at Shiloh stood for 369 years, Shiloh Israel served as the spiritual center of the nation during the time of Joshua, the Judges, and Samuel. For those asking where is Shiloh in Israel, it sits along Highway 60—the ancient Road of the Patriarchs connecting Shechem, Jerusalem, Hebron, and Beersheba.

In this Route 60 film, we bring the story of Biblical Shiloh to life—exploring the land, the Scriptures, and the people of Shiloh, Israel today. From the site of the Ark of the Covenant at Shiloh to the modern community built beside Tel Shiloh, this film traces a continuous story spanning more than 3,000 years.

Elon Moreh: Where God Appeared to Abraham (Genesis 12)

Elon Moreh in Judea and Samaria is traditionally identified as the Oak of Moreh in Genesis 12 and the place where God first appeared to Abraham and promised the land to his descendants. Located along Highway 60, the ancient Road of the Patriarchs, this mountaintop overlooks the valley of Shechem and stands at the crossroads of biblical history and modern Israel.

In this Route 60 film, we explore the geography, Scripture, archaeology, and modern-day community of Elon Moreh—tracing the story from Abraham’s altar 4,000 years ago to the families living there today.
