CRANE

One of the 14 species of the family Gruidae, order Gruiformes. A tall (140 cm.[55 in.]) and graceful wading bird, the crane (Grus grus) breeds in Europe and winters in Northern Africa, thus passing the Middle East twice a year. Its ability to know when to migrate is praised in Jer. 8:7, in contrast to those who do not know the ordinances of the Lord.

The Hebrew term (ʿāgûr) may have been onomatopoetically motivated, as the clamor of King Hezekiah of Judah is compared to the cry of the crane (Isa. 38:14; NJPSV “swallow”; NIV “thrush”).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
