OPHNI

(Heb. ʿopnî)

A town in the territory of Benjamin, listed between Chepar-ammoni and Geba (Josh. 18:24). The exact location is unknown, but the other cities listed in this grouping suggest a site NE of Jerusalem. Ophni is often identified with modern Jifna (170152), ca. 5 km. (3 mi.) NW of Bethel. Josephus calls the town Gophna, which he indicates was the capital of its toparchy (BJ 3.3.5.55).

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.
