The term Pool of Siloam (Hebrew: בְּרֵכַת הַשִּׁילוֹחַ, Modern: Brekhat hashiloaḥ, Tiberian: Bərēḵaṯ hašŠiloḥ, Levantine Arabic: بِرْكَة سِلْوَان‎, romanized: Birka Silwān) refers to several rock-cut pools located southeast of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The pools were fed by the waters of the Gihon Spring, carried there by the Siloam tunnel.[1][2]
The Lower Pool or "Old Pool" (הַבְּרֵכָ֣ה הַיְשָׁנָ֑ה, according to Isaiah 22:11[3][a]) was historically known in Palestinian Arabic as Birket el-ḥamra "the Red Pool."
