CASSIA

A tree (Cinnamomum cassia Blume) whose bark peels off and produces a fragrant oil when distilled (Ps. 45:8[MT 9]). Similar to cinnamon, it is often used as a less precious substitute for that spice. Cassia (Heb. qiddâ, qĕṣîʿâ) is native to the Far East, and its products were brought to the ancient Near East via the “Silk Road.” Cassia oil was included in the mixture Moses made to anoint the ark of the covenant and the tent of meeting (Exod. 30:24). Ezekiel mentions it as a product traded in Tyre (Ezek. 27:19). Job’s second daughter was named Keziah (qĕṣîʿâ, Job 42:14).

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.
