| <p> (Heb. Parah', '''''פָּרָה''''' [with the article], [[Heifer]] ; Sept. '''''Φαρά''''' v. r. '''''Ἀφάρ''''' ), a city of the tribe of Benjamin, named in the north-eastern group between [[Avim]] and [[Ophrah]] ( Joshua 18:23). Buckingham ( ''Travels'' , p. 312) heard of a village named Farah, which Robinson, however, could not find; but the name exists farther to the south-east attached to the [[Wady]] el-Farah, one of the southern branches of the great Wady Suweinit, and to a site of ruins at the junction of the same with the main valley (Ritter, ''Pal. U. Syrien'' , 3:529). This identification is supported by [[Van]] de Velde (Memoir, p. 339) and Schwarz (Palestine, p. 126). The drawback mentioned by Dr. Robinson (Researches, 2:112), namely, that the Arabic word: ("mouse") differs in signification from the [[Hebrew]] ("the cow") is not of much force, since it is the habit of modern names to cling to similarity of sound with the ancient names, rather than of signification (Beit-ur, el-Aal, etc.). A view of the valley is given by Barclay (City of the Great King, p. 558), who proposes it for AENON (See [[Aenon]]) (q.v.); but he incorrectly interprets the name ("valley of delight"). </p>
