Ophrah:
(fawn).
(1.) A town in the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:23; 1 Samuel 13:17). Jerome places it five miles east of Bethel. It is perhaps et‐Taiyibeh, a small village on the crown of a conspicuous hill, four miles east‐northeast of Beitin (Bethel.)
(2.) More fully, OPHRAH OF THE ABIEZRITES, the native place of Gideon (Judges 6:11) and the scene of his exploits against Baal, ver (Judges 6:24) his residence after his accession to power (Judges 9:5) and the place of his burial in the family sepulchre (Judges 8:32). It was probably In Manasseh (Judges 6:15) and not far distant from Shechem (Judges 9:1; 9:5).
(3.) The son of Meonothai (1 Chronicles 4:14).

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
