He is the author of the Book of Micah, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. His prophecies are directed primarily towards the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, addressing issues of social injustice, idolatry, and the coming judgment, while also offering hope for restoration. Historical Context: Micah's ministry occurred during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah (<a href="/micah/1.htm">Micah 1:1</a>). This period was marked by significant political turmoil and moral decay. The Assyrian Empire was expanding its influence, posing a threat to the smaller kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Micah's contemporary prophets included Isaiah, Hosea, and Amos, who also spoke against the prevailing corruption and idolatry. Themes and Messages: 1. Judgment and Justice: Micah is known for his strong emphasis on justice and righteousness. He condemns the leaders and false prophets of Israel and Judah for their exploitation and oppression of the poor. "Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right" (<a href="/micah/3-9.htm">Micah 3:9</a>). Micah warns that such injustices will lead to divine judgment. 2. Idolatry and False Worship: The prophet denounces the idolatrous practices that had infiltrated the worship of Yahweh. He calls the people to genuine repentance and a return to true worship. "All her idols will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her images" (<a href="/micah/1-7.htm">Micah 1:7</a>). 3. Hope and Restoration: Despite the grim warnings, Micah also offers a message of hope. He prophesies the coming of a ruler from Bethlehem who will shepherd God's people and bring peace. "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me one to be ruler over Israel" (<a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>). This prophecy is often interpreted as a messianic prediction, pointing to the birth of Jesus Christ. 4. The Call to Righteous Living: Micah famously summarizes what God requires of His people: "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" (<a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a>). This verse encapsulates the ethical and spiritual demands of the covenant relationship with God. Structure of the Book: The Book of Micah is structured into three main sections, each beginning with a call to hear the word of the Lord (<a href="/micah/1-2.htm">Micah 1:2, 3</a>:1, 6:1). These sections alternate between oracles of judgment and promises of restoration, reflecting the dual themes of warning and hope. Legacy and Influence: Micah's prophecies have had a lasting impact on both Jewish and Christian traditions. His call for justice and righteousness continues to resonate, and his messianic prophecy is seen as a significant foretelling of the birth of Christ. The book's emphasis on social justice and ethical living remains relevant in contemporary discussions of faith and morality. Conclusion: Micah's prophetic ministry serves as a powerful reminder of God's concern for justice, the dangers of idolatry, and the hope of redemption through the coming Messiah. His message challenges believers to live lives of integrity, compassion, and humility before God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Micahpoor; humble<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Micah(who is like God), the same name as Micaiah.

Micah is evidently a devout believers in Jehovah, and yet so completely ignorant is he of the law of Jehovah that the mode which he adopts of honoring him is to make a molten and graven image, teraphim or images of domestic gods, and to set up an unauthorized priesthood, first in his own family, (<a href="/judges/17-5.htm">Judges 17:5</a>) and then in the person of a Levite not of the priestly line. ver.

Micah exercised the prophetical office during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, giving thus a maximum limit of 59 years, B.C. 756-697, from the accession of Jotham to the death of Hezekiah, and a minimum limit of 16 years, B.C. 742-726, from the death of Jotham to the accession of Hezekiah.

The Morasthite, or of Maresheth, a village near Eleutheropolis, in the west of Judah; the seventh in order of the lesser prophets. He prophesied under Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, for about fifty years, if with some we reckon from near the beginning of the reign of Jotham, to the last year of Hezekiah B. C. 750-698. He was nearly contemporary with Isaiah, and has some expressions in common with him.

He wrote in an elevated and vehement style, with frequent transitions.

He proclaims the coming of the Messiah, "whose going forth have been from of old, from everlasting," as the foundation of all hope for the glorious and blessed future he describes; and specifies Bethlehem in Judah as the place where He should be born of woman, <a href="/context/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>,3.

Very little is known of the circumstances of his life (Comp. <a href="/jeremiah/26-18.htm">Jeremiah 26:18</a>, 19). Micah, Book ofThe sixth in order of the so-called minor prophets. The superscription to this book states that the prophet exercised his office in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. If we reckon from the beginning of Jotham's reign to the end of Hezekiah's (B.C. 759-698), then he ministered for about fifty-nine years; but if we reckon from the death of Jotham to the accession of Hezekiah (B.C. 743-726), his ministry lasted only sixteen years. It has been noticed as remarkable that this book commences with the last words of another prophet, "Micaiah the son of Imlah" (<a href="/1_kings/22-28.htm">1 Kings 22:28</a>): "Hearken, O people, every one of you."The book consists of three sections, each commencing with a rebuke, "Hear ye," etc., and closing with a promise, (1) ch. 1; 2; (2) ch. 3-5, especially addressed to the princes and heads of the people; (3) ch. 6-7, in which Jehovah is represented as holding a controversy with his people: the whole concluding with a song of triumph at the great deliverance which the Lord will achieve for his people. The closing verse is quoted in the song of Zacharias (<a href="/luke/1-72.htm">Luke 1:72</a>, 73).

Micah, a dweller in Mt. Ephraim, was the founder and owner of a small private sanctuary with accessories for worship (17:1-5), for which he hired as priest a Judean Levite (17:7-13). Five men sent in quest of new territory by the Danites, who had failed to secure a settlement upon their own tribal allotment, visited Micah's shrine, and obtained from his priest an oracle favoring their quest (<a href="/judges/18-1.htm">Judges 18:1-6</a>). They then went on until they reached the town of Laish in the extreme North, and deeming it suitable for the purpose, they returned to report to their fellow-tribesmen. These at once dispatched thither 600 armed men, accompanied by their families (<a href="/judges/18-7.htm">Judges 18:7-12</a>). Passing Micah's abode, they appropriated his idols and his priest, and when their owner pursued, he was insulted and threatened (<a href="/judges/18-13.htm">Judges 18:13-26</a>). They took Laish, destroyed it with its inhabitants and rebuilt it under the name of Dan. There they established the stolen images, and appointed Micah's Levite, Jonathan, a grandson of Moses (the King James Version "Manasseh"), priest of the new sanctuary, which was long famous in Israel (<a href="/judges/18-27.htm">Judges 18:27-31</a>). The purpose of the narrative is evidently to set forth the origin of the Danite shrine and priesthood. A few peculiarities in the story have led some critics-e.g., Moore, "Judges," in ICC and "Judges" in SBOT; Budde, Richter-to regard it as composite. Wellhausen, however, considers that the peculiarities are editorial and have been introduced for the purpose of smoothing or explaining the ancient record. Most authorities are agreed that the story is nearly contemporary with the events which it narrates, and that it is of the highest value for the study of the history of Israelite worship.

Name and Person: The name signifies "who is like Yah?"; compare Michael, equal to "who is like El?" (i.e. God). As this name occurs not infrequently, he is called the "Morashtite," i.e. born in Moresheth. He calls his native city, in <a href="/micah/1-14.htm">Micah 1:14</a>, Moresheth-gath, because it was situated near the Philistine city of Gath. According to Jerome and Eusebius, this place was situated not far eastward from Eleutheropolis. The prophet is not to be confounded with Micah ben Imla, in <a href="/1_kings/22-8.htm">1 Kings 22:8</a>, an older prophet of the Northern Kingdom. 2. Time of Micah: According to <a href="/jeremiah/26-18.htm">Jeremiah 26:18</a>, Micah lived and prophesied in the reign of Hezekiah; according to <a href="/micah/1-1.htm">Micah 1:1</a>, he labored also under Jotham and Ahaz. This superscription has, it must be said, great similarity to <a href="/isaiah/1-1.htm">Isaiah 1:1</a> and is probably of a later date. Yet the contents of his first discourse confirm the fact that he prophesied, not only before the destruction of Samaria, but also before the reformation of Hezekiah (compare <a href="/micah/1-5.htm">Micah 1:5</a>). Accordingly, Micah 1 is probably a discourse spoken already under Ahaz, and Micah 2-5 under Hezekiah. No mention is any longer made of Samaria in chapters 2 to 5. This city has already been destroyed; at any rate, is being besieged. Accordingly, these discourses were pronounced after the year 722 B.C., but earlier than 701 B.C., as the reformation of Hezekiah had not yet been entirely completed. It is impossible to date exactly these discourses, for this reason, that all the separate sentences and addresses were afterward united into one well-edited collection, probably by Micah himself. The attacks that have been made by different critics on the authenticity of Micah 4 and 5 have but a poor foundation. It is a more difficult task to explain the dismal picture of the conditions of affairs as described in Micah 6 and 7 as originating in the reign of Hezekiah. For this reason, scholars have thought of ascribing them to the reigns of Jotham and Ahaz. But better reasons speak for placing them in the degenerate reign of Manasseh. There is no reason for claiming that Micah no longer prophesied in the times of this king. It is true that a number of critics declare that Micah did not write these chapters, especially the so-called psalm in 7:7-20, which, it is claimed, clearly presupposes the destruction of Jerusalem (7:11)! But it is a fact that Micah did really and distinctly predict this destruction and the exile that followed this event in 3:12; and accordingly he could in this concluding hymn very easily have looked even beyond this period. Micah is, then, a younger contemporary of Isaiah, and, like the latter, he prophesied in Judah, perhaps also in Jerusalem. To the writings of this great prophet his book bears a close resemblance both in form and in contents, although he did not, as was the case with Isaiah, come into personal contact with the kings and make his influence felt in political affairs. 3. Relation to Isaiah: The statement in <a href="/micah/4-1.htm">Micah 4:1</a>; is found almost literally in <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2</a>;. Opinions differ as to who is to be credited with the original, Isaiah or Micah. In the latter, the passage seems to suit better into the connection, while in <a href="/nasb/isaiah/2.htm">Isaiah 2</a> it begins the discourse abruptly, as though the prophet had taken it from some other source. However, <a href="/micah/4-4.htm">Micah 4:4</a> is certainly a sentence added by Micah, who, accordingly, was not the first to formulate the prophecy itself. It is possible that both prophets took it from some older prophet. But it is also conceivable that Isaiah is the author. In this case, he placed this sentence at the head of his briefer utterances when he composed his larger group of addresses in Micah 2-4, for the purpose of expressing the high purposes which God has in mind in His judgments. 4. Contents of the Prophecies: Micah combats in his discourses, as does Isaiah, the heathenish abuses which had found their way into the cult, not only in Samaria, but also in Judah and Jerusalem, and which the reformation of Hezekiah could counteract only in part and not at all permanently (compare <a href="/micah/1-5.htm">Micah 1:5-7</a>; <a href="/micah/5-11.htm">Micah 5:11-13</a>; 6:7, 16). Further, he rebukes them for the social injustice, of which particularly the powerful and the great in the land were guilty (<a href="/micah/2-1.htm">Micah 2:1</a>; 3:2 f.10 f); and the dishonesty and unfaithfulness in business and in conduct in general (compare <a href="/micah/6-10.htm">Micah 6:10</a>;; 7:2;). At all times Micah, in doing this, was compelled to defend himself against false prophets, who slighted these charges as of little importance, and threatened and antagonized the prophet in his announcements of impending evil (compare 2:5;, 11;). In pronounced opposition to these babblers and their predictions of good things, Micah announces the judgment through the enemies that are approaching, and he even goes beyond Isaiah in the open declaration that Jerusalem and the temple are to be destroyed (<a href="/micah/3-12.htm">Micah 3:12</a>; <a href="/micah/4-10.htm">Micah 4:10</a>; <a href="/micah/5-1.htm">Micah 5:1</a>). The first-mentioned passage is also confirmed by the event reported in <a href="/jeremiah/26-17.htm">Jeremiah 26:17</a>;. The passage <a href="/micah/4-10.htm">Micah 4:10</a>, where in a surprising way Babylon is mentioned as the place of the exile, is for this reason regarded as unauthentic by the critics, but not justly. Micah predicts also the deliverance from Babylon and the reestablishment of Israel in Jerusalem, and declares that this is to take place through a King who shall come forth from the deepest humiliation of the house of David and shall be born in Bethlehem, and who, like David, originally a simple shepherd boy, shall later become the shepherd of the people, and shall make his people happy in peace and prosperity. Against this King the last great onslaught of the Gentiles will avail nothing (4:11-13; 5:4;). As a matter of course, he will purify the country of all heathen abuses (5:9;). In the description of this ruler, Micah again agrees with Isaiah, but without taking the details from that prophet. 5. Form of the Prophecies: The form of the prophecies of Micah, notwithstanding their close connection with those of his great contemporary, has nevertheless its unique features. There is a pronounced formal similarity between <a href="/micah/1-10.htm">Micah 1:10</a>; and <a href="/isaiah/10-28.htm">Isaiah 10:28</a>;. Still more than is the case in Isaiah, Micah makes use of the names of certain places. Witty references, which we can understand only in part, are not lacking in this connection; e.g. Lachish, the "city of horses," is made the object of a play on words. (Recently in the ruins of this city a large wall has been unearthed.) The style of Micah is vigorous and vivid. He loved antitheses. It is a peculiarity of his style that he indulges in dramatic interruptions and answers; e.g. 2:5, 12; 3:01; 6:6-8; 7:14 f. He also loves historical references; as e.g. 1:13, 15; 5:05; 6:4, 6, 16; 7:20. He makes frequent use of the image of the shepherd, 2:12; 3:2; 4:06; 5:3;; 7:14. The fact that these peculiarities appear in all parts of his little book is an argument in favor of its being from one author. He is superior to Isaiah in his tendency to idyllic details, and especially in a deeper personal sympathy, which generally finds expression in an elegiac strain. His lyrical style readily takes the form of a prayer or of a psalm (compare Micah 7). LITERATURE. C. P. Caspari; Ueber Micha den Morasthiten, 1851; T.K.
