Joshua 18:23 Meaning and Explanation

The record adds three more towns to Benjamin's portion: Avim, Parah, and Ophrah. The simple naming continues, each place a piece of the promised land made concrete.

These are small names, easily passed over, yet each marks a place where people would live and raise their children before God. The inheritance is not an idea but a collection of real homes. God's gift reaches down to every village, none too slight to be named and given.
