Micah 1:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In the house of Aphrah roll, &c.— Roll thyself in dust, in the very house of Aphrah, or dust. The word עפרה aphrah, has here a double sense; for it denotes the city of Aphrah, or Aphron, in the tribe of Judah, which Sennacherib was about to lay waste, for this and what follows respect the kingdom of Judah; and it explains what immediately precedes in the ninth verse, that the stroke was come even to the gate of Jerusalem, the neighbouring cities being laid waste by Sennacherib. See Houbigant.

Micah 1:10

10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrahb roll thyself in the dust.
