SHARUHEN

(Heb. šārûḥen)

A city in the tribal teritory of Simeon (Josh. 19:6, lacking in LXX), usually identified with Shilhim (15:32, assigned to Judah) and Shaaraim (1 Chr. 4:31). Sharuhen is mentioned in an Egyptian document from before the Israelite occupation (ANET, 233), where it is the first stronghold of the Asiatic Hyksos after their expulsion from Egypt in the 16th century b.c.e. The site is generally believed to have been located in the southwest. Possible identifications include Tell el-Fârʿah (South; 100076), Tell el-ʿAjjûl (0934.0976), and more recently Tell Abu Hureirah/Tel Haror (08795.11257).

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.
