KANAH

(Heb. qānâ)

1. A stream that defined the boundary between the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh (Josh. 16:8; 17:9). In the biblical description, Kanah flows west from the Micmethath Valley across the Sharon Plain to the Mediterranean Sea. Kanah has been identified with Wadi Qanah, which now empties into the Yarkon River before reaching the Mediterranean.

2. A town included in the territory allocated to Asher (Josh. 19:28). Many identify Kanah with modern Qânā (178290), ca. 10 km. (6 mi.) SE of Tyre. The town marks part of the northern border of Asherite territory. The town is not to be confused with the Cana in Galilee (Khirbet Qânā/µorvat Qana) mentioned in the NT.

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.
