Discovery Box| (1.00) | (2Ch 9:10) | 2 tn Heb “who brought gold from Ophir, brought.” |
| (0.67) | (Psa 45:9) | 4 tn Heb “a consort stands at your right hand, gold of Ophir.” |
| (0.67) | (Job 22:24) | 3 tn The Hebrew text simply has “Ophir,” a metonymy for the gold that comes from there. |
| (0.59) | (Psa 45:9) | 4 sn Gold from Ophir is also mentioned in Isa 13:12 and Job 28:16. The precise location of Ophir is uncertain; Arabia, India, East Africa, and South Africa have all been suggested as options. |
| (0.47) | (Jer 10:9) | 2 tn This is a place of unknown location. It is mentioned again in Dan 10:5. Many emend the word to “Ophir” following the Syriac version and the Aramaic Targum. Ophir was famous for its gold (cf. 1 Kgs 9:28; Job 28:16). |
| (0.47) | (Gen 10:29) | 1 sn Ophir became the name of a territory in South Arabia. Many of the references to Ophir are connected with gold (e.g., 1 Kgs 9:28; 10:11; 22:48; 1 Chr 29:4; 2 Chr 8:18; 9:10; Job 22:24; 28:16; Ps 45:9; Isa 13:12). |
| (0.42) | (2Ch 8:18) | 1 tn Heb “and Huram sent to him by the hand of his servants, ships, and servants [who] know the sea, and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir.” |
| (0.29) | (Dan 10:5) | 5 tn The location of this place and even the exact form of the Hebrew name אוּפָז (ʾufaz) are uncertain. Apparently it was a source for pure gold. (See Jer 10:9.) The Hebrew word פָּז (paz, “refined gold” or “pure gold”) is more common in the OT than אוּפָז, and some scholars emend the text of Dan 10:5 to read this word. Cf. also “Ophir” (1 Kgs 9:28; Isa 13:12; Job 22:24; 28:16). |
