“And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,”
Joshua 18:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Joshua 18:23
And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah—Three more cities with minimal biblical mention. Avim likely means 'ruins,' possibly commemorating destroyed Canaanite settlements. Ophrah (distinct from the Ophrah in Judges 6) means 'dust' or 'fawn.' Parah ('heifer') may relate to the red heifer ceremony (Numbers 19).Even obscure towns received their inheritance. God wastes nothing—every place, person, and purpose fits His plan. The apostle Paul's analogy of the body (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) applies geographically: seemingly less honorable parts receive necessary honor. No city, no believer is expendable.
