ZIN

(Heb. ṣin),

WILDERNESS OF

A desert area in northeast Sinai which included Kadesh-barnea. The Negeb is to the north, the Arabah and Edom to the east, and the wilderness of Paran to the south. The wilderness of Zin constituted part of the southern border of Canaan (Num. 34:3; Josh. 15:1) and was the southern extent of the land spied out by the Israelites during the Exodus wandering (Num. 13:21). Miriam died while the Israelites were camped in the wilderness of Zin at Kadesh-barnea, and Moses sinned at the waters of Meribah, forfeiting his right to enter the Promised Land (Num. 27:14; Deut. 32:51). The wilderness of Zin should be distinguished from the wilderness of Sin (Heb. sin; not differentiated in LXX or Vulg.).

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.
