HAZARMAVETH

(Heb. ḥăṣarmāweṯ)

A southeast Arabian tribal group and the territory in which they lived (modern Wadi µaḍramaut) mentioned in the Table of Nations. They trace their genealogical descent from Shem (Gen. 10:26) through Joktan (1 Chr. 1:20). Although little of the early history of the area and its people is known, archaeological evidence suggests long periods of settlement in the region. Hazarmaveth was powerful in the 5th century b.c. and in the 1st and 2nd centuries c.e. Hazarmaveth was important for its control over the production and exportation of frankincense from the present-day Dhofār region.

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.
