<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).
