The tribe of Benjamin received territory between the larger tribes of Judah and Ephraim, and these three cities - Avim, Parah, and Ophrah - were among the towns included in their portion. This careful recording of boundaries and cities shows how God fulfilled His promise to give each tribe their specific inheritance in the land.
