Tel Shiloh 2024: End-of-Season Interview With Dr. Scott Stripling

Shiloh is famous as the location of the biblical tabernacle. Archaeological excavations have been taking place annually on the north side of the ancient tel. Excavation director Dr. Scott Stripling believes his team may have found remains from the tabernacle itself, as well as the city gate and sacrificial deposits. In this end-of-season interview, Let the Stones Speak host Christopher Eames interviews Dr. Stripling about finds from the 2024 season, including some intriguing gold items. Could these be offerings for the tabernacle?

Dr. Stripling is so generous with his time. Every interview of him I've seen is full of information he is wonderful.

Enjoying these updates of Dr Stripling & company. Kudos to AIBA for keeping the flock informed. God's people are wonderful.

I have to say that the magazine is the best publication I have ever received on biblical Archeology. Thankyou so much for sharing it freely. What a blessing!!

[@terryhardaway3285]

Shalom, Fascinating stuff! Biblical veracity at work. Baruch Hashem! Am Yisrael chai! Be well and be Blessed!

[@fensterheim]

Great interview, Christopher. Can't wait to see images of the pendants. Strange though that a pendant with a graven image would be a votive offering to an Israelite temple. What would Eli the Priest or Samuel the Prophet have said?

[@T-RexRita]

Thank you so much for all the hard work you and your team does! I can't get enough of it ❤ May God bless you in your uncovering the truth! ✝️🙏

[@Shiryone]

Absolutely fascinating and thrilling.

I always thought the Tabernacle at Shiloh was the same one the Israelites carried through the wilderness. I never considered that they would have built permanent structures to supplement the Tabernacle. Awesome.

God bless you and thank you for all you do 🙂🙏

I have received the latest issue of Let the Stones Speak and have just started to read it. I must tell you from my first look at the magazine it promises to be interesting read. Thankyou for another very informative issue!

[@krackerToo]

I sure wish you good people would do photos of this stuff thank you. Shalom

Instead of cultic function could we call items found religious function items.

[@nealcorbett1149]

Yeah, it irks me when archaeologists refer to the worship of the one true God as "cultic".

[@kathycasey9521]

I have learned that we Christians have a negative view of the word cult that historians and scientists do not have. The word cult is the root word for culture and it describes the beliefs and practices of the cult which come from the deities of the people. In that way, the use of the word cult by these scientists is perfectly understandable and acceptable. The word cult to us Christians describes people who have a false religion based on the god being worshipped or the leader of the cult. That, too, is a perfectly acceptable use of the word because it is an accurate description. We often talk about our Christian culture (centered around the teachings of God the Father and his son Jesus) in the USA and how it is at risk in today’s culture. The reason is the change in what people are worshipping and the rules around which their worship is ordered. (Usually we consider these to be godless, but the fervor of their beliefs would seem to suggest otherwise.)

[@infiniti28160]

Yahwist worshippers are cultists. Anat yahu. Its all Baal worship until Plato proposed a creator god that was behind all of creation without being part of creation itself.

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

There's some things I don't like about ABR, but Dr. Stripling is an archaeologist through and though. I always like listening to him.

[@biblicaltheologyexegesisan9024]

Wow so exciting

[@janicemcclure4832]

Wonderful magazine.

[@theonlyway5298]

Has any signs of epigraphy been discovered in the Shiloh dig?

[@thesignman704]

My question is: how was this interview done in the last weeks with a referrance time of 2016? Is this an old interview that you're airing for the first time or what?

[@ElizabethDMadison]

All this is fascinating. I would really like to see Dr Stripling respond to the contentions that the item he thought was a defixio from Mt Ebal may more likely be something like a fishing weight. I wanted to believe him about it but his interpretation of text on the item was none too convincing. Everyone's capable of being wrong sometimes but the value of Biblical archaeology as a witness to the truth of the Biblical accounts is undermined if archaeologists' credibility suffers from the impression that their findings are dictated by apologetics rather than science.

[@vdoniel]

If you do a little research on Dr. Striplings interviews regarding the defixio you will find the answers to your question. He also publishes papers regularly on Academia. The fishing weight idea is ridiculous.

[@ElizabethDMadison]

@@vdoniel On Academia? in other words he self-publishes them? I don't know what the lead object was, I was fascinated about that but I no longer think it has text on it.

Only i really don't understand why thinking people want to be associated somehow with H.W. Armstrong.

The actual date for the Exodus is about 150 years earlier than the standard view. But that's what you get when you butcher an entire book of the Bible to make it conform to a single verse.

[@feemevidencias]

I think that exodus was when hyksos left egypt

[@nealcorbett1149]

@@feemevidencias Incidentally, my dating for the Exodus also conforms to the radiocarbon dating of the destruction layers of Jericho, Ai, and other Canaanite cities c. 1550 BC.

Could this be the Middle Eastern Salem? We need to start unraveling the spaghetti of self-centered cultural marxism to the first Garden of Eden and the first chosen species.
