Joshua 18:23

And Avim, and Parah ,.... Of the two first of these we read nowhere else:

and Ophrah is not the same with Ophrah in Judges 6:11 ; that belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, but rather that which was in the land of Shuah, 1 Samuel 13:17 . Jerom calls this place Aphrah, in the tribe of Benjamin, and says F15 De loc. Heb. fol. 88. H. , in his time there was a village called Effrem, five miles from Bethel to the east, which very probably is the same with this.
