BAMOTH

(Heb. bāmôṯ),

BAMOTH-BAAL

(bāmôṯ-baʿal)

A place where the Israelites halted N of the Arnon (Num. 21:19-20). Bamoth is perhaps the same as Bamoth-baal, where Balak king of Moab assigned Balaam to curse Israel (Num. 22:41). Bamoth-baal was one of many cities given to Reuben, as well as being numbered with the towns around Heshbon (Josh. 13:17). Bamoth-baal may also correspond to Beth-bamoth of the Mesha stela, a place Mesha was credited with rebuilding. The precise location of Bamoth-baal is unknown, but it probably was situated on the western edge of the Transjordanian plateau in the area of Mt. Nebo. Although archaeological evidence has not been found, some scholars equate it with Khirbet el-Quweiqiyeh, which matches the geographical references found in the Bible.

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.
