EDREI

(Heb. ʾeḏreʿî)

1. A major Transjordanian city and one of the residences of the Amorite king Og of Bashan. After defeating King Sihon of Heshbon, the Israelites marched north and met the army of Og just S of Edrei (Num. 21:33-35; cf. Deut. 1:4; Josh. 12:4; 13:12, 31). Together with Salecah, Edrei was a border city from where the king’s army watched for an attack either from the south or the east. After the victory, Edrei was assigned to the Machirites, a clan of the tribe of Manasseh (Josh. 13:31). Edrei may be located at Derʿā, ca. 97 km. (60 mi.) S of Damascus.

2. An unidentified city in Naphtali located somewhere in upper Galilee (Josh. 19:37), probably named in the itinerary list of Thutmose III (ANET, 242).

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.
