TAANATH-SHILOH tā’ năth shī lō (תַּאֲנַ֣ת שִׁלֹ֑ה, LXX, Θηνασὰ̀ καὶ̀ Σελλησα).

This village lay between Michmethath and Janoah (Josh 16:6) on the NE border of Ephraim. It has been tentatively located seven m. SE of Shechem (modern Nablus), where there is evidence of an ancient hill fort (modern Ta’nah). The name may mean “approach to Shiloh.”
