Zoheleth

['zouhli]

 

 

n.琐希列

 

Zoheleth - the serpent-stone, a rocky plateau near the centre of the village of Siloam, and near the fountain of En-rogel, to which the women of the village resort for water (1 Kings 1:5-9).

 

ZOHELETH, THE STONE OF

zo'-he-leth, ('ebhen ha-zacheleth, "serpent's stone"):

"And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel" (1 Kings 1:9). Evidently this was a sacred stone--probably a matstsbhah such as marked a Canaanite sanctuary. A source of "living water" has always in the Semitic world been a sacred place; even today at most such places, e.g. at Bir Eyyub, the modern representative of En-rogel, there is a michrab and a platform for prayer. The stone has disappeared, but it is thought that an echo of the name survives in ez-Zechweleh, the name of a rocky outcrop in the village of Siloam. Because the name is particularly associated with an ascent taken by the woman coming from the Virgin's Fount, to which it is adjacent, some authorities have argued that this, the Virgin's Fount, must be En-rogel.

 

“琐希列的石头,靠近隐罗结”(1王一章九节)。显然,这是一个神圣的石头——可能标志着一个迦南的圣所。在闪族的世界是一个来源“活水”的神圣地方,有一个平台供人祷告。石头已经消失了,但西罗村受到特别关注。
