BETH-LE-APHRAH

(Heb. bêṯ lĕʿaprâ)

A small town in Judah (“house of vigor” or “house of the fawn”). The prophet Micah made a wordplay in his prophecy of doom against the southern kingdom by mockingly referring to the city as a “house of dust” (Mic. 1:10). Located E of Lachich and S of Jerusalem, the settlement may have been plundered by the Assyrian king Sennacherib during his invasion of Judah in 701 b.c. The ruin of the town can be identified with eṭ-Öaiyibeh (153107), NW of Hebron.

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.
