Micah 1:10
_ _ Declare ye it not at Gath — on the borders of Judea, one of the five cities of the Philistines, who would exult at the calamity of the Hebrews (2 Samuel 1:20). Gratify not those who exult over the falls of the Israel of God.
_ _ weep ye not at all — Do not betray your inward sorrow by outward weeping, within the cognizance of the enemy, lest they should exult at it. Reland translates, “Weep not in Acco,” that is, Ptolemais, now St. Jean d’Acre, near the foot of Mount Carmel; allotted to Asher, but never occupied by that tribe (Judges 1:31); Acco’s inhabitants would, therefore, like Gath’s, rejoice at Israel’s disaster. Thus the parallelism is best carried out in all the three clauses of the verse, and there is a similar play on sounds in each, in the Hebrew Gath, resembling in sound the Hebrew for “declare”; Acco, resembling the Hebrew for “weep”; and Aphrah, meaning “dust.” While the Hebrews were not to expose their misery to foreigners, they ought to bewail it in their own cities, for example, Aphrah or Ophrah (Joshua 18:23; 1 Samuel 13:17), in the tribe of Benjamin. To “roll in the dust” marked deep sorrow (Jeremiah 6:26; Ezekiel 27:30). |
Micah 1:10
Declare ye it not — Lest the Philistines triumph. Weep ye not — Make no public weeping. Aphrah — This was farther from the Philistines. Roll thyself — Express thy sorrow. |
Micah 1:10
Declare ye [it] not at (h) Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of (i) Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
(h) Lest the Philistines our enemies rejoice at our destruction.
(i) Which was a city near to Jerusalem (Joshua 18:23), there called Ophrah, and signifies dust: therefore he wants them to mourn and roll themselves in the dust, for their dusty city. |
- Declare:
2 Samuel 1:20 Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Amos 5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it [is] an evil time.
Amos 6:10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
