MOLADAH

(Heb. môlāḏâ)

A place or city in the Negeb near Beer-sheba, first assigned to Judah (Josh. 15:26), described as lying toward the boundary of Edom, then assigned to Simeon (Josh. 19:2; cf. 1 Chr. 4:28). It was reoccupied by returning exiles (Neh. 11:26). The only mention of the site outside the OT is on an ostracon found in 1984 at µorvat ʾUza, but it provides no insight into its location. The most probably identification is with Tel Malḥata/Tell el-Milḥ (152069), located in the Beer-sheba Valley between Arad and Beer-sheba.

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.
