GOAH

(Heb. gōʿâ)

A place mentioned in conjunction with Gareb as a point of reference for the restored, enlarged, and re-sanctified Jerusalem (Jer. 31:39). The precise location remains unknown, but in the context of Jeremiah’s prophecy it must certainly be SE of Gareb, N of the Hinnom Valley, and W of the Kidron. The LXX, instead of rendering the term as a proper name, uses the descriptive Gk. ex eklektṓn líthōn (“the stone of the elect” or “stone of the chosen”); however, this yields no further indication as to an exact location.

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.
