LINTEL

A horizontal wooden or stone beam above a door, supported by two doorposts. The lintels (Heb. māšqôp) and doorposts were sprinkled with lambs’ blood in preparation for the tenth plague and in commemoration of the Passover (Exod. 12:22-23). In the description of the construction of the temple’s dĕḇîr (NRSV “inner sanctuary”), the lintels (ʾayil) may have in fact been two beams set at an angle (1 Kgs. 6:31). Archaeological excavations in the Middle East have revealed the remains of doors in public and private buildings; sockets or depressions sometimes preserved in lintels and thresholds once accommodated hinges.

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.
