HORONAIM

(Heb. ḥōrōnayim)

A place in southern Moab mentioned in the oracles against Moab (Isa. 15:5; Jer. 48:3, 5, 34) and on the Moabite Stone. In Isaiah’s oracle the expression “road to Horonaim” is used parallel to the “ascent of Luhith.” This seems to indicate that Horonaim was located along a roadway that led from the Moabite plateau down to the Dead Sea. It may be identified with modern el-ʿIrāq (211055), ca. 15 km. (9 mi.) E of the Dead Sea, SW of Kerak, or with the northern side of Wadi el-Kerak atop ed-Der, SW of Rabbah.

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.
