Commentary

Commentary on Micah 1:11

Theological / Devotional

Saphir. The name signifies “beautiful.” The location is uncertain. Some have suggested Khirbet el-Kom, about 8⅜ mi. (13.4 km.) from Hebron.

Zaanan. Perhaps identical with Zenan mentioned in Joshua 15:37, a town in the Shephelah of Judah.

In the mourning. The Hebrew of this passage is obscure. The RSV connects this phrase with what follows: “The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take away from you its standing place.” However, the meaning remains uncertain.

Beth-ezel. Possibly Deir el-‘Asal near Debir in southern Judah.
