Meaning

Suburbs the immediate vicinity of a city or town (Num 35:3, 7; Ezek 45:2). In 2Kings 23:11 the Hebrew word there used (parvarim) occurs nowhere else. The Revised Version renders it "precincts." The singular form of this Hebrew word (parvar) is supposed by some to be the same as Parbar (q.v.), which occurs twice in 1Chr 26:18.
