Commentary

Commentary on Joshua 18:23

Theological / Devotional

Avim. Since, in the enumeration, Avim follows directly after Bethel, and Ai, which stood near Bethel, is not mentioned, it has been assumed by some commentators that Avim is identical with Ai (see on ch. 7:2). However, the site remains unidentified.

Parah. Perhaps Khirbet t-Farah on the Wadi Farah to the west of Jericho, about halfway to Jerusalem.

Ophrah. Perhaps the same as the Ophrah in 1 Sam. 13:17, and the Ephrain in 1 Chron. 13:19 (Ephraim, John 11:54), and now identified with et-Taiyibeh. It must not be confused with the Ophrah of Judges 6:11, which was probably in Manasseh.
