ASHKENAZ

(Heb. ʾaškĕnaz)

The eldest of the three sons of Gomer, the son of Japheth (Gen. 10:3; 1 Chr. 1:6), and the name of a kingdom (Jer. 51:27). Most likely it was the Scythian kingdom (cf. Assyr. Iš-ku-za). Its connection to the Cimmerian invasions (Herodotus Hist. 4.11) accounts for its relation to Gomer.

Allying themselves with the Mannai, the Scythians revolted against Assyria (7th century b.c.e.) but were afterward conquered by the Medes and the Persians. In 538 they provided contingents of troops for the Persian attack against Babylon.

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.
