OPHNI ŏf’ nī (עָפְנִ֖י). A place allotted to the tribe of Benjamin after Israel, following its Egyp. exodus, had taken possession of Pal. (Josh 18:24). Grollenberg’s Atlas of the Bible lists the exact site as unknown. It has been suggested that the place is the same as Gophna, a town referred to by Josephus (War III. iii. 5). This place survives in the modern Jiffa, and is located c. three m. NW of Bethel (see Westminster Historical Atlas to the Bible).
