KERIOTH-HEZRON

(Heb. qĕrîyôṯ ḥeṣrôn)

A place name designating one, possibly two, locations in southern Judah (Josh. 15:25). Some scholars separate Kerioth and Hezron, regarding them as two cities. Even if the text refers to two places, Kerioth should not be confused with Kerioth of Moab. As a separate village, Hezron may refer to the border settlement near Kadesh-barnea (Josh. 15:3). If the two names designate one locale, it is possibly the modern remains called Khirbet el-Qaryatein/Tel Qeriyot (161083), 7 km. (4.5 mi.) S of Maon.

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.
