Uphaz [1]
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. In the second passage, instead of "gold of Uphaz," perhaps "gold and fine gold" ( 'ūphāz ) 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 ). That of Uphaz, which is so called from the place from which it comes, resembles "flashes of fire fed with pitch" (M. Schwab, The Talmud of Jerusalem , V, 207 f).
