Taanath-Shiloh
(Heb. Taanath’ Shiloh’, , Taanah’ [Gesenius, approach; Furst, circle] of Shiloh, so called prob. from its vicinity to that place; Sept. v.r. ), a place mentioned (Jos 16:6) as situated near the northern border of Ephraim at its eastern end between the Jordan and Janohah. SEE TRIBE.
With this agrees the statement of Eusebius (nomast. s.v.), who places Janoh’ah twelve and Thenaet ten Roman miles east of Neapoli. It is probably W. Thena. () mentioned by Ptolemy (Geog. 5, 16, 5) of the chief cities of Samaria, in connection with Neopolis. In the Talmud (Jerusalem Megillah, 1), Taahath-Shiloh is said to be identical with Shiloh, a statement which Kurtz’ (Gesch. des Alt. Bundes, 2, 70) understands as meaning that Taanath was the ancient Canaanitish name of the place, and Shiloh the Hebrew name, conferred on it in token of the rest which allowed the tabernacle to be established there after the conquest of the country had been completed. But this is evidently conjecture arising from the probable proximity of the two places. Taanah-of-Shiloh is probably the Ain Tana seen by Robinson north-east of Mejdel (Later Res. 3, 295), and by Van de Veldee (Memoir, p. 121, although erroneously marked Meraj ed-Din on his Map), about a mile from the road between Aerabi and Mejdel, consisting of a small tell with a ruin, on the first lower plateau into which the Ghor descends.

Taanath-Shiloh (2)
is thought by Tristram (Bible Places, page 195) and Conder (Tent Work, 2:340) to be the present ruin Tana, seven miles south-east of Shechem, and two north of Janohoh (Yanfim), containing “foundations, caves, cistern, and rock-cut tombs” (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 2:245, comp. page 232).

Taanath Shiloh
On the border of Ephraim (Jos 16:6); “the approach of Shiloh”, (Gesenius), “the futurity of Shiloh” (Kurtz). Hengstenberg also identifies it with Shiloh (“rest” after Canaan was subdued; the Jerusalem Talmud, Megillah i., identifies Tanhath Shiloh with Shiloh), making Taanath the old Canaanite name and Shiloh the new Hebrew name. But Eusebius (Onom., Thenath) makes it ten Roman miles from Neapolis (Sichem) on the way to Jordan, probably the Thena of Ptolemy v. 16, section 5, named with Neapolis as the two chief towns of Samaria; now Tana, Ain Tana, ruins S.E. of Nablus where are large cisterns (Robinson, Bibl. Res., 295; Ritter 15:871).

Taanath-Shiloh
taa-nath-shlo ( , ta’anath shiloh; Codex Vaticanus , Thenasa ka Sellesa, , Tenathselo): A town on the border of the territory of Ephraim named between Michmethath and Janoah (Jos 16:6). According to Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. Thena) it lay about 10 Roman miles East of Neapolis, on the road to the Jordan. Ptolemy speaks of Thena, probably the same place, as a town in Samaria (Jos 16:1-10 :16, 5). It may be identified with Tana, a village about 7 miles Southeast of Nablus. Yanun, the ancient Janoah, lies 2 miles to the South. A Roman road from Neapolis to the Jordan valley passed this way. At Tana there are foundations, caves, cisterns and rockcut tombs (PEFM, II, 245). This identification being quite satisfactory, the Talmudic notion that Taanath-shiloh was the same place as Shiloh may be dismissed (Jerusalem Talmud, Meghillah, i).

Taanath-shiloh
