A city of Manasseh, 6 miles south-west of Shechem, the residence of Gideon (Judges 6:11; 8:27,32). After his great victory over the Midianites, he slew the captive kings (8:18-21). He then assumed the function of high priest, and sought to make Ophrah what Shiloh should have been. It "became a snare" to Gideon and his house. After Gideon's death his family resided there until they were put to death by Abimelech (Judges 9:5).
