However, the Greek transliteration of the prophet's name in the Septuagint is Μιχαίας (Michaías).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Micah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably the prophet Micah, who authored the Book of Micah. The name itself is a rhetorical question, "Who is like Yahweh?" emphasizing the uniqueness and incomparability of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The most prominent Micah in the Bible is the prophet Micah, who was active during the 8th century BC. He was a contemporary of Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea, and his ministry took place during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Micah's prophecies addressed both the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah, focusing on themes of social justice, true worship, and the coming judgment and restoration.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a var. for <a href="/hebrew/4318.htm">Mikah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>three Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Mica (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מִיכָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (so in Palmyrene, Vog<sup>No. 36a</sup>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>son of Mephibosheth</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Μειχα</font>), <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/9-12.htm">2 Samuel 9:12</a> ( = <font class="hebrew2">מִיכָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>4</b></font>) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-2.htm">Nehemiah 10:2</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/11-7.htm">Nehemiah 11:7</a> ( = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/9-15.htm">1 Chronicles 9:15</a>), <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/9-22.htm">1 Chronicles 9:22</a> (called <font class="hebrew2">מִיכָיָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/12-35.htm">1 Chronicles 12:35</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Micha <p>A variation for <a href="/hebrew/4318.htm">Miykah</a>;
