the immediate vicinity of a city or town (Nu 35:3,7; Eze 45:2). In 2Ki 23:11 the Hebrew word there used (parvarim) occurs nowhere else. The Revised Version renders it "precincts." The singular form of this Hebrew word (parvar) is supposed by some to be the same as Parbar (q.v.), which occurs twice in 1Ch 26:18.
The cities shall be theirs to dwell in, and their pasturelands shall be for their cattle and for their livestock and for all their beasts.
All the cities that you give to the Levites shall be forty-eight, with their pasturelands.
And he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts. And he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
And for the colonnade on the west there were four at the road and two at the colonnade.
Of this a square plot of 500 by 500 cubits shall be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits for an open space around it.
