Shiloh: The Nation's Center
Commentators note that the Israelite assembly moved from Bethel to Shiloh. As the home of the Tabernacle, Shiloh was the nation's central place of worship and assembly. The text specifies it was 'in the land of Canaan' to contrast it with Jabesh-gilead, which was located east of the Jordan River, highlighting the return to their religious center after the expedition.
