ARNON

(Heb. ʿarnôn)

One of Transjordan’s four major perennial streams. The Arnon’s source is near el-Lejjun, 16 km. (10 mi.) NE of Kerak, from which it transects the Moabite Plateau (modern Wadi Môjib) to the northwest for 24 km. (15 mi.) and then turns west where it flows for another 24 km. (15 mi.) into the Great Rift Valley, finally emptying into the eastern side of the Dead Sea at Ras el-Ghor. The great gorge that the stream has cut through the millennia (which varies from 3 km. [2 mi.] to 5 km. [3 mi.] wide and 390 m. [1300 ft.] to 690 m. [2300 ft.] deep) has served as a natural and political boundary throughout history (e.g., Num. 21:13; Deut. 3:8, 16; Josh. 13:16).

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.
