EGLAIM

(Heb. ʾeglayim)

A site mentioned in the prophecy against Moab in Isa. 15:8. Its identification is uncertain. Because of the parallelism to “border of Moab” one must look towards the periphery of the Moabite region. Together with Beer-elim (similar to Dan and Beer-sheba in regard to Israel) it forms a territory-defining expression. Eusebius identified a certain Agallim, 8 Roman mi. S of Areopolis (modern Rabbah). The best candidate is Rujm el-Jilîmeh (217064), SE of Kerak.

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.
