1. One of the sons of Midian (Gen. 25:4; 1 Chr. 1:33). The name presumably designates a Midianite tribe, from the region SE of Palestine along the northeast shore of the Gulf of Aqaba. The tribe was famous for raising camels (Isa. 60:6).

2. Caleb’s concubine, mother of Haran, Moza, and Gazez (1 Chr. 2:46).

3. A son of Jahdai (1 Chr. 2:47). Although no parentage is provided, the context suggests he is a member of the Calebite community.

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.
