SWEET CANE

A variety of aromatic cane or grass (Heb. qāneh, “reed, branch, stick”; Ezek. 27:19). At Cant. 4:14 the term is rendered “calamus.” Among the plants thus referred to might be sweet flag (Acorus calamus, also called calamus), Indian lemon-grass (Andropogon citratus), and other grasses and reeds. These plants were used in perfumes (Cant. 4:14) and in the incense made for the tabernacle and temple worship (Exod. 30:23; Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20; cf. Exod. 30:23, “aromatic cane”).

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.
