OVENS, TOWER OF THE

A tower defending the northwestern angle of Jerusalem’s city wall, possibly constructed first by King Uzziah (cf. 2 Chr. 26:9) and later rebuilt by Nehemiah (Neh. 3:11; 12:38). The precise location of the tower (Heb. migdal hattannûrîm), as well as its position relative to the Corner Gate, is a matter of dispute. According to Nehemiah it was situated somewhere S of the Broad Wall and N of the Valley Gate. The name may point to a location near the “bakers’ street” of Jer. 37:21, although this reference dates before the time of Nehemiah.

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.
