Oph'rah. (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, 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; Judges 9:5.
3. The son of Meonothai. 1 Chronicles 4:14.
