Moresheth-Gath, a town in Judah near Gath, likely the home of the prophet Micah
Moresheth-Gath appears only in Micah 1:14, where the prophet addresses it in a series of wordplays on Judean town names. The location was apparently near the Philistine city of Gath, making it vulnerable during invasions from the coastal plain. This was likely the hometown of Micah himself, as he is called 'Micah of Moresheth' in Jeremiah 26:18, giving his prophecies particular poignancy as he warns of judgment coming to his own community.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Judean settlement near Gath mentioned in Micah's lament over the towns of the Shephelah. The name suggests 'possession of Gath' or 'inheritance of Gath,' fitting Micah's pattern of place-name wordplays. The town's proximity to Philistine territory made it strategically vulnerable, and it appears to be the prophet's ancestral home. 1×
