BRACELET

A decorative object worn on the wrist or lower arm of both men and women. Bracelets in biblical times were most often made of copper and bronze, but silver, gold, iron, and later glass were also used. Bracelets were formed into various designs: flat or rounded simple rings, intertwined wires, or solid or perforated rings. Some were open-ended with animal finials. Beads and pendants made of metal, glass, faience, stone, shell, bone, and ivory were strung together and also worn on the wrist. Bracelets were considered items not only of beauty, but also of value since they were donated to the tent of meeting (Num. 31:50) and were given as gifts to Rebekah in the hopes of securing her marriage to Isaac (Gen. 24:22). They have been found on the arms of skeletons in ancient graves.

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.
