Bible Question (short): define "gold of OPHIR" |
Question (full): 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. |
