Micah 1:10
Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
Note Gath sounds like the Hebrew for tell.
Note Beth-Leaphrah means house of dust.
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Note Aphrah: that is, Dust
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Note Beth Ophrah means literally “House of Dust.”
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust.
