Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 21 of Judges. The elders seek a way to preserve the remaining Benjaminites without formally breaking the oath they had made. They propose allowing them to take women during a celebration at Shiloh. The solution reveals how religious structures can be manipulated to resolve a problem created by previous decisions. The narrative continues showing the absence of a central moral authority capable of stopping the cycle of violence.

Und sie sprachen: Siehe, es ist ein Jahrfest des HERRN zu Silo, das mitternachtwärts liegt von Beth-El, gegen der Sonne Aufgang von der Straße, da man hinaufgeht von Beth-El gen Sichem, und mittagswärts liegt von Lebona.
Ahora bien, dijeron, he aquí cada un año hay solemnidad de Jehová en Silo, que está al aquilón de Beth-el, y al lado oriental del camino que sube de Beth-el a Sichêm, y al mediodía de Lebona.
Et ils dirent: Voici, il y a chaque année une fête de l'Eternel à Silo, qui est au nord de Béthel, à l'orient de la route qui monte de Béthel, à Sichem, et au midi de Lebona.
Perciò dissero: Ecco, la solennità annuale del Signore si celebra in Silo, nel luogo che è dal Settentrione della Casa di Dio, e dal sol levante della grande strada, che sale dalla Casa di Dio in Sichem, e dal Mezzodì di Lebona.
Então disseram: Eis que de ano em ano há solenidade do SENHOR em Siló, que se celebra para o norte de Betel do lado do nascente do sol, pelo caminho alto que sobe de Betel a Siquém, e para o sul de Lebona.
他們又說:「看哪,一年一度耶和華的節期正在 示羅 舉行。」 示羅 位於 利波拿 的南邊, 伯特利 的北邊,從 伯特利 往 示劍 大路的東邊。
