jan 1, 717 BC - Micah

Description:

Writer(s): Micah
Place Written: Judah
Writing Completed: b. 717 B.C.E.
Time Covered: c. 777-717 B.C.E.

A prophetic book of the Hebrew Scriptures containing Jehovah's word through Micah concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. (See MICAH No. 7.) It consists of three basic sections, each beginning with the word "Hear." - Mic 1:2; 3:1; 6:1.

Micah's prophetic words regarding Samaria's desolation must have been delivered before that city's destruction in 740 B.C.E., and evidently his oral pronouncements were committed to writing before the close of Hezekiah's reign.
