(Heb. ʾĕlîṣāpān)
(also ELZAPHAN)

1. The second son of Uzziel, Aaron’s kinsman, and a Levite (Num. 3:30; called Elzaphan at Exod. 6:22; Lev. 10:4). When Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, were consumed by fire before God, Moses summoned Elizaphan and his brother Mishael to carry away their corpses from the sanctuary (Lev. 10:4). He was the head of the Kohathite clans (Num. 3:30). King David appointed some of Elizaphan’s descendants along with other Levites to carry the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chr. 15:8). His descendants also participated in the cleansing of the temple during Hezekiah’s reign (2 Chr. 29:13).

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.
