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