Bible Person
Meaning: fruitful region · Male · 2 cross references
Ophir is one of Joktan's sons in the table of nations. The page uses a person-style entry for an ancestral name that later also becomes associated with a famous gold-producing region. First appears in Gen 10:29.1
AI summary: Ophir matters because his cross references place the name within Genesis' ordered account of the nations, anchoring a later well-known place-name in genealogical memory. Even without a narrative scene here, the entry helps show how Scripture links peoples, territories, and remembered ancestry. Taken together, the material presents Ophir as an ancestral marker within the Bible's wider map of the world.1
