KEDEMOTH

(Heb. qĕḏēmôṯ)

A wilderness area probably NE of the Arnon (Wadi Môjib) from which Moses contacted the king of Heshbon (Deut. 2:26). An outpost or town in this area of the same name was first assigned to the territory of Reuben (Josh. 13:18) and later given to the Levites (21:37; 1 Chr. 6:79[MT 64]). It is mentioned elsewhere only in Eusebius (Onom. 114.5-6). Kedemoth has been identified variously with Umm er-Rasas, Khirbet er-Remeil, Qasr ez-Zaʿferan, and {Aleiyân. Modern es-Saliyeh is currently the best candidate in that it borders on the desert and has produced sherds from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages.

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.
