HAPHARAIM

(Heb. ḥăpārayim)

A city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Issachar (Josh. 19:19). Some scholars have associated it with a site (Egyp. ḥprm) mentioned in Shishak (Sheshonk) I’s list of conquered cities inscribed at Karnak or with two cities (÷pr wr, ÷pr šri) in a list of Thutmose III. However, all of these suggestions have been disputed. Hapharaim is usually identified with the modern village eṭ-Öaiyibeh (192223), SW of the Sea of Chinnereth and NE of Jezreel. Other suggestions have included Khirbet el-Farriyeh (160226) and Afula (177223).

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.
