 | | - Far away on the south-western border of Manasseh, close by the boundary of Ephraim, was the little township of Ophrah,* belonging to the family of Abiezer** (Joshua 17:2; 1 Chronicles 7:18), apparently one of the smallest clans in Manasseh (Judges 6:15). |
 | | This Ophrah is to be distinguished from that in Benjamin. |
 | | Moreover, the whole clan Abiezer, and, beyond it, all who had heard of Gideon's deed, perpetuated even in his name, were prepared to look to him as their leader. |
