The Pool of Siloam, where Jesus is said to have healed a blind man, will soon be opened to the public for the first time after approximately two thousand years.
The pool, located in the southern part of the City of David archaeological site in Jerusalem, is cherished by Christians and Jews.
It is currently being excavated by archaeologists and will either be opened to the public piece by piece or once the entire site is unearthed.
Plans to open up the Pool of Siloam were announced just before the new year by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the Israel National Parks Authority and the City of David Foundation.
The site was built around 2,700 years ago as part of Jerusalem’s water system in the eighth century B.C. It served as a reservoir for the Gihon Spring from which water was diverted and stored in underground tunnels.
The reference about Jesus and the pool is mentioned in the New Testament’s John 9. It reads: “He told him, ‘Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam.’ So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.”
Traditionally, the Christian site of the Pool of Siloam was the pool and church that were built by the Byzantine empress Eudocia (c. 400-460 A.D.) to commemorate the miracle recounted in the New Testament. However, the exact location of the original pool as it existed during the time of Jesus remained a mystery until June 2004.
During construction work to repair a large water pipe south of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, at the southern end of the ridge known as the City of David, archaeologists Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron identified two ancient stone steps. Further excavation revealed that they were part of a monumental pool from the Second Temple period, the period during which Jesus lived.
The structure Reich and Shukron discovered was 225 feet long, with corners that are slightly greater than ninety degrees, indicating a trapezoidal shape, with the widening end oriented toward Tyropoeon Valley.
What was the function of the Pool of Siloam during Jesus’ time?
Because the pool is fed by waters from the Gihon Spring, located in the Kidron Valley, the naturally flowing spring water would have qualified the pool for use as a mikveh, a bath used for the purpose of ritual immersion in Judaism to achieve ritual purity.
However, it could also have been an important source of fresh water for the inhabitants in that part of the city. One scholar has even suggested that it was a Roman-style swimming pool.
Whatever its original purpose, the Siloam Pool, where Jesus healed the blind man, is an important Christian site, and its discovery represents a watershed moment in the field of Biblical archaeology.
I'm the pottery expert for the Pool of Siloam dig. There are more stunning revelations to come!
what is pottery doing in a pool? who made the pool dis appear?
@@user-ih3pi4zr7dPeople came with jugs to get water from the pool to drink or use for cleaning. The pool is not necessarily a Mikvah. There are many Mikvahs on the Temple Mount.
Sincerely after the diaspora (when the Israelites and Christ followers were persecuted out of their homeland yet stayed culturally as the Jewish nation throughout all the nations till they were able to return in 1948, and continue to return as prophesied) God does his correct timing. I believe God allowed the truth to be hidden until time for truth to be revealed. Really think about how this tiny nation and those from the tiny nation that followed Yeshua as Messiah (Jesus as Christ) spread throughout all nations due to persecution but during that time the things of Israel were hidden and continue to be hidden till the right time for things to be revealed. Everyone needs to study scripture for themselves. Jeremiah 29 says if you humbly seek the Lord with all your heart you will find the truth.
@@SRose-vp6ew - the Israelites returning was already fulfilled before Christ and that purpose was fulfilled and done. there is biblical text that proves this.
Please keep us updated 🙏
Amen, Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. They find things daily that proves the Bible is true and Jesus walked on the streets of Jerusalem. Thank you so much for sharing.
As a person who's eyesight is diminishing this pool has special significance to me spiritually not because im expecting a miracle but the fact of its very existence. God bless everyone 🙏❤️🔥
Thank you so much for walking through the City of David for me and for providing such amazing details! Seeing where my Lord walked now makes me want to see The Holy Land and Jerusalem so I’m adding these to my places to visit! Praise God! His truth and mercy are forever. Stones crumble, cities fall and men die but the Word of our Lord remains forever!
I love this theory! It makes sense. Purify and keep moving 😮

Thank you for this, I will most likely never get to Jerusalem, but sir, you brought me there! It's just beautiful, this walk! God bless you! 🙏
I hope you can in this life, I know you will in days to come.. Reality.
The water in the pool looked so clear and cool, what an amazing place. I would love to visit Jerusalem. Maybe one day we both might visit, never say never ❤ 😄🌸
Never say never, I said I didn’t think I could ever afford it to an expert I know, he told me never say never, three years later an opportunity came up with him and within three months I miraculously had the money to go with him and it was like money multiplied for the trip. 🙌 All praise to God.
Thank you sir, for taking us to places where our Lord Jesus Christ walked this earth. Thank you. May God bless you in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen ❤

All your presentations are very nice. ❤
Zahi, i love this video today, thank you. So biblical. Keep us informed on more excavation of the pool.
More to come!
This is amazing news Zahi.. I found your channel looking for information on the history of Jerusalem. Your passion for all religions and your obvious love of history has me hooked. I’ve learnt so much thank you 🌺🌸❤️🌸🌺
Hallelujah. This is amazing. Thank you Zahi for this. God bless you!
An interesting viewpoint...that very well could be accurate that half of the pool was only used for water storage agriculture etc. etc. and the side with the stairs for ritual bathing. Thanks for sharing the news update with us!
begs the question about the layout of what was there instead!
Very very interesting video
Thank you very much brother 👏🏼
🙏🏻💐 have a nice day 💕

I just subscribed, your joy is infectious and your knowledge IS AMAZING! 😊
Welcome to my family
I knew they were looking for the Pool Of Siloam but I didn’t know they’ve already found it.
Wow a lot of progress
So the news is that the excavation is suggesting the steps were constructed only along one side of the pool (which would be slightly more like the design of a normal mikveh), and the other sides of the pool never had steps?
yes
I want to touch that Holy Water too
Just like the water of River Jordan and Sea of Galilee
It looks so inviting 😊
I donated again, thanks for going back to the pool. It would be my dream to be your one person tour!
Thank you
Just like the temple discribe of Ezechiel: the watter enter on the east gates! God bless Israel!🙏👑♥️🌈

I am also a tour guide in Israel. Thank you for sharing this informative update and for all of your other videos.
That is quite a long trek to the temple! Were only men allowed to cleanse and go up to the temple?
Everyone. Full immersion was for inner courts.
Everyone. women and men. It's not a bath, it's a place to cleanse the body. There are also near the temple, but they can accommodate few people
No one but the head priest (from the family of Levi) could go into the holy of holy’s and only for the sacrifice on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, but if you are a Holy Spirit filled believer, like scripture says Samson was, the Spirit of God can dwell in you and as Christians say, those people are temples for the Lord offering their bodies as living sacrifice to the glory of God, dead to sinful ways, but alive in the messiah able now to approach guard because atonement has been made by Jesus, the perfect lamb who was slain, The Isaiah 53, John three, Savior of the world, whose by his stripes we are healed.
🙏✝️🙏The Word Of Remains FOR EVER ✝️❤️❤️
🤔👍👌 very interesting. Zahi , and company have a good week and God bless amen. 🤍🕊🕊🕊
2hat a huge difference, not seen an update for ages
Amazing how the ruins are buried so deep everywhere.
Many warm thanks for you for your always interesting videos . God bless you and your work. I’m looking from Sweden.
Since the spring that supplied the water for the pool is still there is there any chance that the pool could be functioning and used again like it was before?
I hope so
Amen 🇦🇷💚🤍♥️
🙏🙏🙏
Very cool, thanks for uploading.
Thank You So Beautiful loved it ❤️
I love these videos and seeing these sites
Thanks. I admit i dont quite understand the implications of this one. But how i would love to touch that water
Thank you , watching from lndia

Very cool!
Best Upload, _ New Theory By Archeologist About Siloam Pool On Jerusalem City, - God Bless All, - Thanks To, - Zahi Shaked Israel Guide Tour* Channel, .... Cheerio.*****.
Why is the dome of the rock on that map.... There was not a dome of rock at that time .... and it wont be there during the 1000 year reign of messiah YHWH YESHUA
So is the wall on the far side ( where there are no steps ) where the crane is original, or are the archeologists adding it in.
adding
I hope a pray that those who constantly condemn the Bible and the word of God as not real and a book written by men , that’s so inaccurate and full of errors, but who’s never opened it up and read it cover to cover for themselves. If they would only give God a chance , they’d see for themselves that not only was it written by the Holy Spirit but it proves itself throughout all of history and is 100% accurate and without errors, not a single one. And for my Jewish brothers I hope and pray you’ll read Isaiah 53 for yourselves and you’ll quickly and easily see and understand the prophesied messiah Yeshua was , is and forever shall be the King of the universe, creator and sustainer of all things both seen and unseen.
I wish I could have been splashed by the man in the water. Thank you so much.
Ahh, that sounds to me like a wish that God would like to grant !
Fantastic pool of Siloam! 😂
Great video. However, to me, it doesn’t make sense that a person would go all the way to the pool to purify himself instead of using the mikvaot nearer to the Temple and take the chance of negating his purity on the long way up from the pool. Do you have any help for me with that observation?
There are many places around the temple, however they are small. This is the only source of water in Jerusalem, it may not be perfect, but thousands can be purified here.
Maybe the temple was closer to the pool than what we thought? The water is flowing from a constant source of living water, maybe the temple was located in the city of David and truly not one stone was left upon another after the 70 ad destruction?
washed by the water, anointed with oil
Please read the Bible again. Anointed by the order of God withthe water of Jerusalem.
@@zahishaked cool, what verses are you referring to?
Wow thank you❤
Have you found the opposite sides yet...??? And where is the running water diverted to ..???
Not yet
🥰
So, are you saying that the steps just went down into a natural pool or pond that was fed by the Gihon?
Yes
I don’t see the implications of the pool being not finished up to a full square…
nor do I
people are mistaken on the location of the temple by a LONG shot! The current labeled "temple mound" was only a Roman fort. the actual Temple was right by the spring here! If the Jews wanted to build the temple in the correct location, they could build it by the spring where it's supposed to be RIGHT NOW!
Sadly to say but the only one who is wrong is you but no one is perfect. Love and peace
Fill it back up with water, hopefully the angel might comeback
I think the stairs are like that for animals/carts to easily get up? Just a thought! Great video!
An amazing idea

How can a Greek Orthodox or any church own anything in Israel? ? ?
By the Israeli low churches are a Christian property they aee not belongs to Israel
Shalom Zahi! Has all the land been acquired to complete the project?
yes
great video but I still do not understand what is the new theory vs old theory.
looks like you said the old theory was the pool was square and then you showed the new theory map and it showed the pool was square.
that 2nd place you went to is connected how?
If you will watch it again you might understand that it might not the Siloam pool
@@zahishaked - so the new theory is the Siloam pool is that other pool you went to?
that makes no sense.. people can wade thru a big pool with stairs all around very quickly and easily.. what you describe would be a traffic nightmare
so whats the new theory? sorry i didnt understand.
Please watch it again. There were a different theory of the size of the pool
I didn't either, glad I was not the only one.
is that roman concrete poured on top of the steps that go up to the temple?
This wonderful place was not built with concrete
we know that you troll, but the romans were there tearing it down and building other stuff, so why couldn't it be roman concrete? and since you seem to have all the smart answers, then where is the rest of it and how did that big rock get placed on top of where the stairs should be?@@zahishaked
The first instruction given at Mount Sinai:
Exodus, שמות, Shmoht 19:10
Moshe spoke to the people saying, "Wash your body and your clothes for two days and on the third day EH-Heyeh will meet you, and do not have sex with your wives."
Tyson was the meeting place of EH-Heyeh. Being clean is the requirement to meet him.
The Temple was close to the Spring of Gihon. The stairs are going down from the Roman Fortress Antonius to the Temple, the stairs being built to put down insurections.
The Temple is in The City of David, Samuel 5:7.
Any updates on the excavation?
not yet
Thanks for replying! Keep safe! Will keep watching for updates!
Do any Jews currently use a mikveh now? If so are they public or private?
Yes they do
Public
The reason that the distance from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple mount seems so strangely long to us today is very simple: The Temple was not located there. It was, in fact, located very close to the pool, just to the south of Siloam. They actually did not have to walk very far at all to get to the Temple grounds. The Second Temple was never on the "Temple Mount" as commonly and lazily assumed in the past by archaeologists who jumped to erroneous conclusions. The famous "Western Wall" is not the western wall of the temple mount. It is actually just the western wall of the platform for the Fortress Antonia. Eventually this will become clear, even to the most blockheaded humans on the face of the earth: Archaeologists.
In fact you are wrong
Nonsense 😂

Shalom Zahi. I just emailed you with a clip of a video I made of my 3D model of Jerusalem and Siloam. Let me know what you think!
Why did the church give permission to dig on it's property after all these years?
They sold the land
The place belongs to Israel, not to the church. The church sold it about ten years ago

So where is the Hezekiahs pool? Which one?
near Jaffa Gate
@@zahishaked but it's later pool only called by the name of Hezekiah.
What is this bizantine pool that finishes Hezekiah's tunnel? how did it look like in time of Hezekiah? Did the tunnel finish with any pool? Or not?
How far is the pool from the temple?
a few hundred meters
What of the Temple being IN THE CITY OF DAVID as the Scriptures / old writings attest to.
Too many are, for different reasons and purposes invested in the Temple being on the Fort Antonio area they hope to be determined as the Temple Mount.
It is so jokingly funny watching these persons twist and tort themselves into trying to make the golden Dome sight work for them, that they so easily fool their own mind THAT WATER CAN FREELY FLOW UPHILL, thereby denying THE NATURAL LAW OF GRAVITY.
It is not stupidity on its own, it is stubborn ignorance akin to constantly trying to fit size ten feet into size five shoes because of being ashamed of having big feet.
The Christian and Muslim communities are invested in the Hebrew Temple being on The Fort Antonio Military Complex Sight, therefore taking it out of the City of David,so it is out of the direct control of THE ISRAELI PEOPLE and government .
Thanks much for the tour.
It's so funny to read so nuch ignorance in one comment, but I still, as always hugging you
Isn't that just the way GOD moves.. Surprise!
i find that very hard to believe.. why would a KING build half a pool.. drawing a picture of a half a pool.. people around the world would laugh at him
We will have to wait patiently to get more answers
I didn’t really learn much from all your words….nothing really
It's ok.
I got very confused. Went this way, that way, and talked about many different things that didn't seem to tie together. 😒

Pool of Siloam means "Sent" Greek
Pool of Shiloah means "Conducted" Hebrew Shelah Siloah
225 feet wide
The water is from the Gihon Spring. Read the Book of Genesis chapter 2
"A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. "
They were the Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris and the Euphrates.
The latter two still exist, and speculation places the first two in the same region.
Ancient Mesopotamia -" Between the rivers" or what is currently known as Iraq, just North of the Persian Gulf.
The first river Pishon means Great outpouring, full flowing, fully diffused, spread out, real existence, perfect sustainability, being carried to its highest degree - one of the four rivers of Eden and it flows round the country of Havillah, Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.
The second river is the Gihon, it flows round the Country of Cush.
Cush was the Father of Nimrod. Cush is traditionally considered the ancestor of the "land of Cush", an ancient territory believed to have been located near the Red Sea. Cush is identified in the Bible with the Kingdom of Kush or ancient Sudan.
Africa was called Cush, Cushitic and Cush!
The term Cush is in the Old Testament generally applied to the countries south of Israel.
It was the southern limit of Egypt - Read the book of Ezekiel chapter 29 "Ethiopia" Psalms chapter 68,Isaiah chapter 18 and Jeremiah chapter 46.
Ham was the Father of Cush - Nile river - Egypt and Sudan.
Read the Book of John chapter 9 Dearly beloveds around the world.
Ancestor Noe or Noah son's were
Read the Book of Genesis chapter 9 and 10
Japeth - The eldest migrated North - European Nations
Shem - The second born migrated to the Asia pacific Region - 14 Generations to JESUS CHRIST, MESSIAH and ANOINTED ONE.
Ham - The youngest migrated to the African Nations.
This is a Big Family FEUD.
No believer needs proof. To need proof is to anger God.
Literally speaking, both statements are true. Yet, we JOY in the truth (meant to write "proof", but will leave as printed). Gideon wanted clarity, not proof.
Are you traveling to London to proof that the city is exists?
If everyone keeps digging just might fund the third temple 🛕 😮
We found it, its at th place of Al Aqsa
