The Hebrew phrase is עַד-כִּי-יָבֹא שִׁילוֹ (ʿad-kî-yāḇô šîlō).
Grammatically and contextually this has long been debated. Most scholars now read it as שְׁלוֹ (Shelōh), an Aramaic form meaning “whose it is” – i.e. “until he comes to whom [the scepter] belongs”
In this view Shiloh is not a place or ordinary name at all but an idiomatic pronoun. All ancient versions (Greek, Syriac, Aramaic Targums) support Shelōh, whereas “Shiloh” as a personal name appears only in late texts (16th-century English Bibles onward)
Claiming you know the future is an easy way for Pride and Greed to take hold.
