Strong’s Greek Lexicon
of Hebrew origin H7975; Siloam (i.e. Shiloach), a pool of Jerusalem:—Siloam.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
Siloam = “sent”
1) the Pool of Siloam, a fountain of water in Jerusalem, also called Shiloah in Isaiah 8:6
2) the Tower of Siloam, may have been a tower near or over the Pool of Siloam, which fell down killing 18 men; very likely they were purifying themselves. (Gill)
