BAAL-HERMON

(Heb. baʿal ḥermôn)

A place in the Lebanon Mountains occupied by the Hivites (Judg. 3:3) and assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Chr. 5:23). It is likely a Hivite town or shrine on the slopes or in the foothills of the Hermon massif. Although the site of Baal-hermon has not been identified, nearly two dozen ancient cult sites are known from the Hermon area dating from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, indicating that the local populace considered Mt. Hermon a sacred area. Like most of the higher mountains in Palestine, Mt. Hermon probably was the seat of a local deity.

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.
