Parva'yim, פִּרְוִיַם, a dual form from some unknown פִּרְוִי; Sept. Φαρουίμ ), a region producing gold used in adorning, Solomon's Temple (2 Chronicles 3:6). There is very strong reason to conclude with Bochart (Can. 1:46) that it is the same with Ophir. Castell, however (Lexic. Heptagl. col. 3062), identifies it with Barbatia on the Tigris, which is named by Pliny (Hist. Nat. 6:32); and Gesenius, seeking the root of the name in the Sanscrit puriva, "before," i.e. "eastern," concludes it to be a general term, corresponding to our Levant, meaning east country; so that "gold of Parvaim" means Eastern gold (Thesaur. 2:25; so Wilford in the Asiat. Research. 8:276). Knobel conjectures (Volkert. p. 191) that it is an abbreviated form of Sepharvaim, which stands in the Syriac version and the [[Targum]] of Jonathan for the Sephar of Genesis 10:30. Hitzig maintains (on Daniel 10:5) that the name is derived from the Sanscrit parna, "hill," and betokens the δίδυμα ὄρη in Arabia mentioned by Ptolemy (6:7, § 11). </p> | ||

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. Some have considered the name a shortened form of <i> '''''Ṣepharvāyim''''' </i> which occurs in the Syriac and Targum Jonathan for the "Sephar" of Genesis 10:30 . </p> | ||
