(pay' ruh) Place name meaning, “heifer” or “young cow.” Village in territory of Benjamin about five miles northeast of Jerusalem, identified with modern khirbet el-Farah (Joshua 18:23 ). The Hebrew parath , often translated Euphrates (so KJV, NAS, NRSV), may refer to the spring Ain Farah at Jeremiah 13:4-7 . (Compare NAS, NRSV margin readings, “Parah.”) NIV, REB simply transliterate the term.
