Joshua 18:23

And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

The verse belongs to the account of the conquering of the Canaanites and the dividing of the promised land among Israel. Within that division it names places allotted to Israel. More particularly, it is part of the description of Benjamin's inheritance in Canaan, lying in territory adjoining Judah.

It is a geographical record of the distribution of the land, based on written documents that accurately described the property. In that record it lists Avim, Parah, and Ophrah.
