What Original Readers Understood
ExploredThe Hebrew word שִׁלֹנִי (shi.lo.ni) corresponds to the Strong's number H8023. Based on the provided data, this word is a proper noun referring to a specific person. The short definition indicates that it translates to "Shilonite," suggesting that it is the name of a person possibly related to the city of Shiloh (though the data does not explicitly confirm this). Given its classification as a proper name and the fact that it is only mentioned once in the Bible, the word's range of usage is very limited. The single occurrence implies its significance may be particular to that specific context, rather than referring to a larger concept or idea. Overall, the word שִׁלֹנִי appears to be a personal name with a possible geographical or familial connection, but the full extent of its meaning and significance depends on its specific biblical context.
