Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [1]
We read of the gold of Upham, perhaps the same as Opher: the certain man, Daniel saw in a vision, had his loins apparently girded with it. ( Daniel 10:5) The church speaks of her Lord's head, as of this gold. ( Song of Song of Solomon 5:11) And John's account of the Lord Jesus Christ is much to the same amount. ( Revelation 1:13, etc.) What sublime descriptions they all are of the glories of his person. But how infinitely short of what Christ really is!
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Uphaz . A supposed country or region mentioned in Jeremiah 10:9 , Daniel 10:5 , as a source of gold. Probably the word is miswritten for Ophir (wh. see).

(Heb. Uphaz', אוּפָז , signif. uncertain; Sept. Μωφάζ , ᾿Ωφάζ ; Vulg. Ophaz, Obryzuni ) , the name of a gold region ( Jeremiah 10:9; Daniel 10:5), like Tarshish and Ophir (comp.

ū´faz ( אוּפּז , 'ūphāz ): A gold-bearing region, mentioned in Jeremiah 10:9; Daniel 10:5 , otherwise unknown. Perhaps in both passages Ophir, which differs in one consonant only, should be read.

The Jerusalem Talmud states that there were seven kinds of gold, good gold, pure, precious, gold of Uphaz, purified, refined, and red gold of Parvaim ( 2 Chronicles 3:6 ).
