Nahr Barbar

Pharpar is a biblical river in Syria. It is the less important of the two rivers of mentioned in the Book of Kings, now generally identified with the Nahr al-Awaj, also called Awaj, although if the reference to Damascus is limited to the city, as in the Arabic version of the Old Testament, Pharpar would be the modern Taura.
