    Description

    Parvaim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Parvaim is a place mentioned only once in the Bible, in 2Ch.3.6, as the source of gold used by King Solomon to decorate the temple in Jerusalem. The exact location of Parvaim is unknown, and there are no other biblical references to this place. Some scholars suggest that the name may be derived from the Sanskrit word "purva," meaning "eastern," and thus could be a general term for regions east of Israel. Others propose that Parvaim might be a variant of Sepharvaim, a place mentioned in the Syriac and Targum Jonathan versions of Genesis 10:30. However, due to the lack of additional information in the biblical text and other historical sources, the identification of Parvaim remains uncertain.

    The pattern

    Where Parvaim is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Parvaim is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
