WILLOW TREE

A plant of the genus Salix, generally found growing along streams and rivers. Heb. ṣapṣāpâ occurs only in Ezekiel’s allegory of the two eagles (Ezek. 17:5), designating a willow, the twigs of which quite readily take root. Heb. ʿărāḇâ may indicate either the willow or the similar Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica). The latter is most likely intended at Ps. 137:2, for it grew commonly by the waters of Babylon. Particular species are uncertain in the other references, e.g., Lev. 23:40, where branches are used in constructing booths (Neh. 8:15) and waved to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Job 40:22; Isa. 44:4).

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.
