The name is often associated with a place of significance in Israel's history, particularly in the narratives of the Judges and the monarchy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ophrah is mentioned in the context of ancient Israel, a time when the Israelites were settling in the Promised Land and establishing their tribal territories. The name reflects the agrarian and pastoral culture of the time, with its connotations of dust or young deer, which were common in the region. The locations named Ophrah were likely small settlements or towns that played roles in the tribal and national narratives of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
