---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Suburbs - The immediate vicinity of a city or town (Numbers 35:3, Numbers 35:7; Ezekiel 45:2). In 2 Kings 23:11 the Hebrew word there used (parvarim) occurs nowhere else. The Revised Category: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 Chronicles 26:18.
