NACON

(Heb. nāḵôn)

The threshing floor on the way to Jerusalem, where the oxen stumbled during a cultic procession and Uzzah, an officiating priest, reached out to the ark of God, took hold of it, and died (2 Sam. 6:6). An editorial note (2 Sam. 6:8) adds that David called the place Perez-uzzah (“Uzzah’s breach”). In the parallel in 1 Chr. 13:9 the threshing floor is called Kidon (cf. Gk. Cheidṓn, Josephus Ant. 7.81). One LXX tradition reads Nodab, another Nachor, and in a Qumran manuscript it is called Nodan. The Hebrew has been variously translated as a proper name or a passive participle of the verb kûn (“certain,” “secure,” “permanent,” or “prepared” [i.e., threshing floor]).

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.
