CYPRESS

Any of a genus of trees (Cupressus) that are evergreen conifers, often nearly cylindrical in shape. The Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), common in many countries bordering the Mediterranean, grows to a height of 30 m. (90 ft.).

The NRSV translates Heb. bĕrôš as “fir” (Ps. 104:17; Ezek. 27:5; 31:8), but more often “cypress” (e.g., 1 Kgs. 5:8[MT 22]; Hos. 14:8). As with other evergreens mentioned in the OT, the identification of this tree is uncertain.

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.
