ZERAHITES

(Heb. zarḥî)

A name referring to several groups mentioned in the OT. Most prominent are a Judahite clan, descended from Zerah, son of Judah by his daughter-in-law Tamar (Gen. 38:30; 1 Chr. 9:6; 27:11, 13; Neh. 11:24), and a Simeonite clan (Num. 26:13; 1 Chr. 4:24). The relationship between the two may reflect the social history of early Israel; Simeon was subsequently absorbed into the tribe of Judah (cf. Gen. 49:7; Josh. 19:1). Other Zerahite groups include the offspring of Zerah, son of the Edomite Reuel (Gen. 36:13, 17; 1 Chr. 1:37), and the levitical clan of Zerahiah of Meraioth (1 Chr. 6:6[5:32]).

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.
