NAARAH

(Heb. naʿărâ)

(PLACE)

A town on the eastern border of Ephraim (Josh. 16:7). 1 Chr. 7:28 lists Naaran, which is probably the same site. Josephus refers to a town named Naara (Ant. 17.13.1[340]), and Eusebius describes a Jewish settlement, Noarath, located 8 km. (4.5 mi.) from Jericho (Onom. 136.24). The exact location is uncertain, but Naarah has been identified with Iron Age sites near Jericho, including Khirbet el-ʿAyâsh, el-Aujeh, and most commonly with Tell el-Jisr (190144), ca. 6 km. (3.5 mi.) NW of Jericho.

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.
