ONO

(Heb. ʾônô)

A city in the Shephelah, identified with Kafr ʿAnā (137159), 10 km. (6 mi.) NW of Lod. Ono and Lod are closely associated throughout; Neh. 11:35 refers to the cities as “the valley of artisans.” Thutmose III (15th century) includes Ono in his Karnak list of conquered sites.

According to 1 Chr. 8:12 Shemed, son of Elpaal the Benjamite, built the city of Ono, but an early association with Dan and Ephraim is possible. Lod, Hadid, and Ono provided an ancestral homeland for 725 (Ezra 2:33) or 721 (Neh. 7:37) returning exiles (or more, if the figures indicate only men). During the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, Sanballat and Geshem requested a parley with Nehemiah “in one of the villages in the plain of Ono” (Neh. 6:2), identified with Wadi Muṣrarah.

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.
