HAR-HERES

(Heb. har-ḥeres)

An area retained by the Amorites against the tribe of Dan (Judg. 1:35). Mentioned with the villages Aijalon and Shaalbim, Har-heres has sometimes been understood as a village, perhaps the same place as the Ir-shemesh in the territory allotted to Dan (Josh. 19:41) or the Beth-shemesh allotted to Judah (15:10; 21:16). Both ḥeres and šemeš can mean “sun.” However, har means “mountain/hill” (and ḥeres can also mean “itch”; cf. LXX “the mountain of the myrtle-grove”). Thus some scholars have identified Har-heres with various sites in the mountains bordering the valley of Aijalon. It is not to be associated with the ascent of Heres (Judg. 8:13).

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.
