ELOAH

(Heb. ʾ4lôah)

A Hebrew name for God, occurring most frequently in biblical texts where non-Israelites would not be familiar with the names of God associated with the tradition history of Israel. Many scholars believe that Eloah could be a later singular form of Elohim. While the word often refers to deity in general (Job 12:6), it also functions as the name of the Israelite God (Isa. 44:8). Eloah appears mostly in poetic texts (Deut. 32:15, 17; 1 Sam. 22:32 = Ps. 18:31[MT 32]; Prov. 30:5; Hab. 3:3) ranging from the period of the Monarchy to the postexilic period. The name occurs most frequently (42 times) in the poetry of Job.

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.
