Divined on Ding: Sacrifice (to) Ancestress Geng bulls and add (or: have) two wild boars. 23 357 Bin in HYZ script is differentiated from the graphically similar (verb) bin to host. It is a noun and the object of zuo erect, build. Ken-ichi Takashima (2010: II.122, note 9) comments, The word also appears as a noun, apparently meaning some sort of shelter, referred to as a bin-bethel or bin-shrine. I use the term bethel which, though perhaps somewhat archaic, is to distinguish it from guest house because bin seems to have been created for paying homage to ancestral spirits when the Shang were engaged in battleQuite possibly such shelter was a temporary rather than permanent construction like zong tem- ple. 236 | HYZ 236
