About Ophrah (of Benjamin)
A city in the land of Benjamin. This city was probably the same place as Ephraim (2 Samuel 13:23; 2 Chronicles 13:19, where it is called “Ephron”; John 11:54). Most scholars think this city is now the town called et-Taiyibeh, which is eight kilometers (five miles) north of Michmash and six and a half kilometers (four miles) northeast of Bethel.
A city in Manasseh that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. He was the father of the judge Gideon. Gideon lived in this city (Judges 6:11). An angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon at Ophrah. The angel told Gideon to rescue Israel from the Midianites (verses 12–24).
