BAAL-GAD

(Heb. baʿal gāḏ)

A Canaanite town marking the northern boundary of Joshua’s conquests (Josh. 11:17; 12:7; 13:5). The king list in Josh. 12 implicitly includes Baal-gad within the territory of Og, king of Bashan. The town is located “below Mt. Hermon” and may have occupied the site of modern Banias. Permanent water sources are by their nature sacred sites, and the name of the town may reflect the permanent spring at Banias (2112.2949).

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.
