ARUMAH

(Heb. ʾărûmâ)

A town in Ephraim where Abimelech, son of Gideon, resided (Judg 9:41), and identified with modern Khirbet el-ʿOrmah (180172), ca. 8 km. (5 mi.) S of Shechem. It may also appear in Judg. 9:31, although the text there is problematic. The MT reads bĕṯormâ, which appears to be the Hebrew prep. bĕ followed by an otherwise unattested noun. Scholars who accept this reading derive tormâ from the root rmh, “to deceive” (cf. KJV “privily”; NIV “under cover”). Others, including the NRSV, read tormâ as simply a corrupt form of Arumah.

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.
