“The Pool of Siloam’s excavation is highly significant to Christians around the world. It was at this site that Jesus healed the blind man (John:9), and it is at this site that, 2,000 years ago, Jewish pilgrims cleansed themselves prior to entering the Second Temple. The Pool of Siloam and the Pilgrimage Road, both located within the City of David, are among the most inspiring archeological affirmations of the Bible,” he said.
According to CBN, the pool was a reservoir for water from the Gihon Spring that was developed under the reign of King Hezekiah, which dates back about 2,700 years. During the Second Temple period, the pool served as a ritual bath for pilgrims going to the temple.
