HOBAB

(Heb. ḥōḇāḇ)

The father-in-law of Moses (Judg. 4:11), asked to lead the Israelites through the wilderness (Num. 10:29-32). Elsewhere Moses’ father-in-law is called Jethro (Exod. 3:1; 4:18; 18:1) and Reuel (2:18). While Jethro and Reuel are consistently identified as Midianites, Hobab is called a Midianite in Numbers but a Kenite in Judges. Also, Jethro refuses to guide the Israelites, but Judg. 1:16 (LXX) suggests that Hobab did so. Accordingly, some scholars seek to allow for two separate individuals; others see the Kenite/Israelite ties being rooted in the life of Moses.

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.
