Shiloh first appears in the Bible as Jacob's generic name for Christ, or Messiah. Jacob uses the name in his prophetic message to Judah, during Jacob's message to each of his sons in Genesis chapter 49.[1][2][3]
Genesis 49:10 states, The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be]. KJV
