Parah

Parah is a town listed among the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin. It appears once in the territorial register of Joshua, embedded in a sequence of Benjaminite settlements.

A Town in Benjamin

The single mention sits in the inheritance list assigned to the tribe of Benjamin: "and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah," (Josh 18:23). Parah is named alongside Avvim and Ophrah, with no further description, no narrative, and no later appearance in the text. The list itself is the entire witness — the town belongs to Benjamin's allotment and is otherwise unmentioned.
