Parah standard

Where is Parah in the Bible?

Parah was a city allotted to the tribe of Benjamin in ancient Israel, located in the region between the towns of Avvim and Ophrah. The city is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as part of the territorial divisions given to Benjamin following the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Scholars generally identify Parah with the site of Farah, located on Wady Farah in the West Bank, approximately three miles northeast of modern Anata. While Parah appears only briefly in biblical records, its inclusion in Joshua's geographical lists reflects the careful organization of tribal territories in ancient Israel.
