Aphrah
Morrish Bible Dictionary
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 OPHRAHin Joshua 18:23; 1 Samuel 13:17 , a city in the tribe of Benjamin.
