JORKEAM

(Heb. yorqĕʿām)

A settlement in Judah mentioned in the list of villages settled by the house of Caleb (1 Chr. 2:44). Though the context of this chapter is a genealogy, most commentators associate the names with a list of towns in Josh. 15. The LXX reads Jokdeam and thus ties further the Chronicler’s passage to Josh. 15:56. Jorkeam was most likely located S of Jerusalem, probably in the hill country around Hebron.

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.
