Mizpah in 1 Samuel 7
MIZ-puh
This place shows up in 1 Samuel 7:5: “Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Samuel 7:5
“Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.””
