During this period, the spiritual center of the Jewish People continued to be, as it had been in the Wilderness, the \u201c<strong>Mishkan<\/strong>.\u201d The Talmud in Masechet Zevachim 118: tells us that the first site of the \u201cMishkan\u201d in \u201cEretz Yisrael\u201d was Gilgal (the name meaning \u201crolling off,\u201d in the sense that the \u201cshame of Egypt\u201d was rolled off of them, by their having a mass circumcision; thereby binding themselves physically to Jewish destiny). The \u201c<a title=\"Mishkan\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/judaism-101\/glossary\/#mishkan\">Mishkan<\/a>\u201d was at Gilgal for fourteen years; seven during the period of conquest of the Land, and seven during the period of division of the Land among the Tribes of Israel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-266x266 size-266x266 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/holidays\/files\/Mishkan-2-e1472215739264.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/holidays\/files\/Mishkan-2-e1472215739264.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.ou.org\/holidays\/files\/Mishkan-2-e1472215739264-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"Mishkan\" width=\"266\" height=\"177\" \/>Afterwards, the Bible tells us (Yehoshua 18:1), \u201cAnd the whole community of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the \u201cMishkan\u201d there. The \u201cMishkan\u201d remained in Shiloh from the time of Yehoshua, all through the Period of the \u201cShoftim,\u201d the \u201cJudges,\u201d the fifteen of whom led the Jewish People for a period of approximately 400 years, according to traditional sources and approximately 200 years, according to modern scholars.<\/p>\n<p>The story of Shmuel, the last and the greatest of the \u201cShoftim,\u201d is told in Shmuel 1. It begins, reasonably enough, with his birth. Chanah, Shmuel\u2019s mother, used to come up to Shiloh every year with Elkanah, her husband, and Penina, his other wife. Chanah was childless, and with a heavy heart, she stood praying to HaShem (in fact, we learn many of the Laws of Prayer from Chanah).<\/p>\n<p>The Priest Eli at first glance thought that she was drunk, because \u201conly her lips were moving,\u201d but he couldn\u2019t hear a word, and confronted her disapprovingly. But she assured him that she was far from drunk; only bitter at heart. She told Eli what kind of help she was praying for. He blessed her, and told her that she would have a child. Chanah dedicated Shmuel, the child who was born afterwards, to HaShem, and he was raised, after the age of weaning, by Eli at the \u201cMishkan.\u201d When Shmuel reached manhood, Shiloh was destroyed by the Philistines, a fierce opponent of the Jews. At that point, Shmuel assumed the leadership of the Jewish People, with the vast approval of the nation, who realized his greatness, and he was able to subdue the Philistines.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMishkan\u201d was rebuilt at Nov, until that city of Priests was destroyed by Do\u2019eg HaAdomi. Do\u2019eg had done so at the command of an enraged Shaul, who had been informed that the citizens of that city had aided David, who was being pursued by King Saul.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMishkan\u201d was moved to Givon, for its last stop. After this, the Holy Temple, the \u201cBeit HaMikdash,\u201d would be built in Yerushalayim by Shlomo, the son of David.<\/p>\n<p>The Talmud in Zevachim 118: cited above, states that the \u201cMishkan\u201d was at Gilgal for 14 years, at Shiloh for 369 years, and at Nov and Givon, together for another 57 years. Thus the Presence of HaShem was with the Jewish People, in \u201cEretz Yisrael\u201d before the building of the \u201c<a title=\"Beit HaMikdash\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/judaism-101\/glossary\/#beithamikdash\">Beit HaMikdash<\/a>,\u201d for a total of some 440 years.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The attempt by David HaMelech to build a Temple&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \" href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/holidays\/the_attempt_by_david_hamelech_to_build_a_temple\/\">The attempt by David HaMelech to build a Temple<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Jewish People entered the Land of Israel, they conquered the Land, under the visible leadership of Yehoshua bin Nun, disciple of and successor to Moshe, then divided it among the Tribes using a \u201clottery,\u201d both actions, conquest and division, under the invisible leadership and direction of HaShem.
