Probably another name for Ophir (Jer. 10:9). Some, however, regard it as the name of an Indian colony in Yemen, southern Arabia; others as a place on or near the river Hyphasis (now the Ghana), the south-eastern limit of the Punjaub.
Uphaz
Uphaz appears only twice, and both times it is a source of fine gold. Jeremiah describes an idol overlaid with silver from Tarshish and gold “from Uphaz,” the work of craftsmen, yet only a thing made by hands. Daniel sees a man clothed in linen, his loins “girded with fine gold of Uphaz,” a glimpse of splendor in a vision. Where Uphaz lay is not told, and readers have guessed in more than one direction. Ophir is the better-known gold land, and the verses grouped here largely concern it. Read Jeremiah 10:1-10 for the first mention.
