Parvaim

VIEW:26 DATA:01-04-2020

PARVAIM.—A region whence, according to 2Ch_3:6, the gold was obtained which was used for ornamenting the Temple of Solomon. The name is most plausibly identified with Farwa in Yemen, or S. W. Arabia. It was possibly from this place that the ‘gold of Sheba’ (Psa_72:15; cf. Isa_60:6) was in part derived.

Whence gold was brought for Solomon's temple (2Ch_3:6). From Sanskrit paru "hill," the two hills in Arabia mentioned by Ptolemy (vi. 7, section 11, Hitzig). Abbreviated front Sepharvaim, which stands in Syriac version and the targum of Jonathan for Sephar (Zaphar a seaport on the coast of Hadramaut; Gen_10:30, Knobel). From Sanskrit purva, "eastern" (Gesenius, Thessalonians 2:1125).

Parva'im. (Oriental regions). The name of an unknown place or country, whence the gold was procured for the decoration of Solomon's Temple. 2Ch_3:6. We may notice the conjecture that it is derived from the Sanscrit purva, "eastern", and is a general term for the east.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863

par-vā?im (פּרוים, parwāyim; Septuagint Pharouaim): The word occurs only in 2Ch_3:6, as the place from which Solomon obtained gold for the decoration of his Temple. A derivation is given from the Sanskrit pūrva, ?eastern,? so that the name might be a vague term for the East (Gesenius, Thesaurus, 1125). Whether there was such a place in arabia is doubtful. Farwa in Yemen has been suggested, and also Sāḳ el Farwain in Yemamah. Some have considered the name a shortened form of Ṣepharvāyim which occurs in the Syriac and Targum Jonathan for the ?Sephar? of Gen_10:30.

Parva?im, a region producing the finest gold (2Ch_3:6). There is very strong reason to conclude, with Bochart, that it is the same with Ophir.

Parvaim
(Heb. Parva'yim, פִּרְוִיַם, a dual form from some unknown פִּרְוִי; Sept. Φαρουίμ), a region producing gold used in adorning, Solomon's Temple (2Ch_3:6). There is very strong reason to conclude with Bochart (Can. 1:46) that it is the same with Ophir. Castell, however (Lexic. Heptagl. col. 3062), identifies it with Barbatia on the Tigris, which is named by Pliny (Hist. Nat. 6:32); and Gesenius, seeking the root of the name in the Sanscrit puriva, “before,” i.e. “eastern,” concludes it to be a general term, corresponding to our Levant, meaning east country; so that “gold of Parvaim” means Eastern gold (Thesaur. 2:25; so Wilford in the Asiat. Research. 8:276). Knobel conjectures (Volkert. p. 191) that it is an abbreviated form of Sepharvaim, which stands in the Syriac version and the Targum of Jonathan for the Sephar of Gen_10:30. Hitzig maintains (on Dan_10:5) that the name is derived from the Sanscrit parna, “hill,” and betokens the δίδυμα ὄρη in Arabia mentioned by Ptolemy (6:7, § 11).
