HI there are several definitions of the name Shiloh, the word peace is the intended meaning. That peace will have to look permanent and continuing forever, Psalms 37:11. The passage at Genesis 49:10 states that the Kings that will give law and order for Israel will come from the tribe of Judah until Shiloh known as Messiah/Christ or true peace arrives and then there will be no more reason for law and order because we will God's laws written on the hearts or rather install in our DNA provided salvation is granted, Jeremiah 31:31-34. Thanks for the A2A.
