Suburbs
Suburbs
is the rendering, in the A.V., regularly of , nigr-eash, properly a pasture (1Ch 5:16; Eze 48:15); hence the open country around a city used for grazing (Num 35:2; Jos 21:11; 1Ch 6:40; 1Ch 13:2, etc.), or for any other purpose (Eze 27:28; Eze 45:2; Eze 48:17). Once (2Ki 23:11), it stands for , parvar, which is but a MS. variation of PARBAR SEE PARBAR (q.v.).

Suburbs (2)
in an ecclesiastical sense, meant, in the early Church, all the towns and villages within the region or district to which the city magistrate extended his jurisdiction, whose bounds, for the most part, were the bounds of the bishop’s diocese. See Bingham, Christ. Antiq. bk. 9:ch. 2, 3.

Suburbs
the immediate vicinity of a city or town (Num. 35:3, 7; Ezek. 45:2). In 2 Kings 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 1 Chr. 26:18.
