ArchivesRe: Hebrew Phrase...? (yasha` na')
in reply to a message by Sabertooth
Interesting conjunction of names and roots. In this combination, it could be taken to mean, “G-d returns in peace.”
Shiloh is the place where the Ark was located prior to being set up in Jerusalem for the first time. The name originally meant “peaceful place” but as a name (especially in conjunction with other words/names) it can contribute a general meaning of “peace” “peacefulness” or “tranquility”.
The word “shana” or “shanah” would normally be taken to mean “year” but it can also mean “to repeat” or even “to return” depending on the context. In this case, it is prefixed by “Jo” which can signify G-d when composed with “yod” and “vav”.
To obtain the aforementioned meaning, it should be pronounced “Shiloh Yoshana”.
