PUAH

(Heb. pûʿâ, pûʾâ) (also PUVAH)

1. One of the two midwives to the Hebrew women in Egypt (Exod. 1:15). It is unclear if the two women, Shiphrah and Puah, were Hebrew or Egyptian. Summoned to assist in Pharaoh’s plan of genocide for Hebrew male babies, they disobeyed and let them live. The two women feared Yahweh and were rewarded for their obedience to God.

2. A man from the tribe of Issachar, father of the judge Tola (Judg. 10:1).

3. A descendant of Issachar (1 Chr. 7:1). Ancestor of the clan of the Punites, he is called Puvah at Gen. 46:13; Num. 26:23.

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.
