Meaning

The verse "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be," is a prophecy from the book of Genesis in the Bible. This verse is often interpreted as a messianic prophecy, foretelling the coming of a great leader from the tribe of Judah who will gather all the people to him. The term "Shiloh" is believed by many to refer to the Messiah, who will bring peace and unity among the people. The imagery of the sceptre and lawgiver signifies that Judah will continue to have rulership and authority until the arrival of this promised leader. The gathering of the people to him underscores the belief that this messianic figure will bring together all nations and establish a kingdom of righteousness and justice. This verse is seen as a precursor to the fulfillment of God's plan for redemption and salvation through the Messiah.
