HUNDRED, TOWER OF THE

A tower on the northeastern corner of the wall of Jerusalem near the tower of Hananel, between the Sheep Gate and the Fish Gate. It was restored by Nehemiah (Neh. 3:1; 12:39). The meaning of its name is unclear, perhaps indicating its height (maybe 100 cubits high or accessed by 100 steps) or its size and importance for defense (housing a garrison of a “hundred”). Some translations transliterate Heb. hamm3}â and call it the Tower of Meah (or Hammēah).

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.
