Mic. 1:10

Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
margin of
Micah 1:10
10
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. (Micah 1:10)
explains the
name
as “
house
of
dust
,” so that
there
is a play upon
the word
dust: “in the house of dust
roll
thyself in the dust.” The LXX read “the house in derision.” It may refer to
OPHRAH
in
Joshua 18:23
23
And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, (Joshua 18:23)
and
1 Samuel 13:17,
17
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: (1 Samuel 13:17)
a
city
in the tribe of
Benjamin
.
