RIB

A curved bone, often cartilaginous, attached to the spine and protecting the viscera (Heb. ṣēlāʿ; Aram. ʿalaʿ). It was from one of Adam’s ribs that God formed Eve (Gen. 2:21-23). The second beast in Daniel’s vision has three ribs in its mouth (Dan. 7:5; NRSV “tusks”). Elsewhere biblical usage is less precise, rendering the Hebrew term as “side,” with reference to cultic furnishings (e.g., Exod. 25:12, 14; 26:20), side chambers of the temple (1 Kgs. 6:5-6; Ezek. 41:5), the leaves of a door (1 Kgs. 6:34), and the slope of a hill (2 Sam. 16:13).

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.
