PAHATH-MOAB

(Heb. paḥaṯ-môʾaḇ)

A name (lit., “governor of Moab”) probably given to the founding ancestor of a clan which returned from the Babylonian Exile (Ezra 2:6; 8:4; Neh. 7:11). Pahath-moab is listed as one of the “leaders of the people” who signed a covenant with Nehemiah to uphold the Law (Neh. 10:14[MT 15]). This clan consisted of two families, descended from Jeshua and Joab. One of their number, “Hasshub son of Pahath-moab,” repaired a section of Jerusalem’s walls and the Tower of the Ovens (Neh. 3:11). Eight members of the clan are mentioned in Ezra 10:30 as having taken foreign wives.

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.
