HAZAZON-TAMAR

(Heb. ḥaṣăṣōn tāmār)

An Amorite city conquered by Chedorlaomer and his allies (Gen. 14:7). Hazazon-tamar should be situated between Kadesh and the Salt Sea, if Chedorlaomer’s conquests are preserved correctly in order. The town is identified with En-gedi (2 Chr. 20:2), but this might be taken to mean Hazazon-tamar is located within the same district or vicinity as the latter. More likely the city is to be identified with Tamar (Ezek. 47:19), which marks Israel’s southern boundary. If so, ʿAin µuṣb/µaẓeva (173024) in the Arabah merits consideration as the site.

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.
