Aphrah. [Aph'rah]


The margin of 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; 1 Sam. 13: 17, a city in the tribe of Benjamin.
