Bible Question:
Gold of OPHIR, mention in several places in the O.T., seems to be of a particular kind. I know OPHIR means ashes; it was the gold used in THE TEMPLE King Solomon built; King David mentions it specifically in what he is giving for the building of THE TEMPLE. (See 1 Chronicles 29:4). My two questions are: Does this phrase mean a specific (ie pure) type of gold? Where is OPHIR? The Bible states it is in the east. |
Bible Answer: Ophir - the famous gold producing region prominent in the Old Testament. It is believed to have been located in southwest Arabia in what is now known as Yemen.*** ***The New Unger's Bible Dictionary pg 944 ISBN 0-8024-9037-9 Hope this helps! \0/ |
