<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> [[Parvaim]] </strong> A region whence, according to 2 Chronicles 3:6 , the gold was obtained which was used for ornamenting the [[Temple]] of Solomon. The name is most plausibly identified with <em> Farwa </em> in Yemen, or S. W. Arabia. It was possibly from this place that the ‘gold of Sheba’ ( Psalms 72:15; cf. Isaiah 60:6 ) was in part derived. </p> <p> J. F. M‘Curdy. </p> | ||

<p> ''''' par ''''' - ''''' vā´im ''''' ( פּרוים , <i> ''''' parwāyim ''''' </i> ; [[Septuagint]] <i> ''''' Pharouaim ''''' </i> ): The word occurs only in 2 Chronicles 3:6 , as the place from which [[Solomon]] obtained gold for the decoration of his Temple. A derivation is given from the Sanskrit <i> '''''pūrva''''' </i> , "eastern," so that the name might be a vague term for the East (Gesenius, <i> Thesaurus </i> , 1125). Whether there was such a place in arabia is doubtful. <i> '''''Farwa''''' </i> in [[Yemen]] has been suggested, and also <i> '''''Sāḳ''''' </i> <i> '''''el''''' </i> <i> '''''Farwain''''' </i> in Yemamah.
