<p> <strong> HARIM. 1. </strong> A lay family which appears in the list of the returning exiles (&nbsp; Ezra 2:32 = &nbsp; Nehemiah 7:35 ); of those who had married foreign wives (&nbsp; Ezra 10:31 ); and of those who signed the covenant (&nbsp; Nehemiah 10:27 ). <strong> 2. </strong> A priestly family in the same lists (&nbsp; Ezra 2:39 = &nbsp; Nehemiah 7:42 = 1Es 5:25 <strong> [[Harim]] </strong> ; &nbsp; Ezra 10:21 , &nbsp; Nehemiah 10:5 ). The name is found also among ‘the priests and [[Levites]] that went up with Zerubbabel’ (&nbsp; Nehemiah 12:3 , where it is miswritten <strong> [[Rehum]] </strong> ); among the heads of priestly families in the days of [[Joiakim]] (&nbsp; Nehemiah 12:15 ); and as the third of the 24 courses (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 24:8 ). To which family [[Malchijah]] the son of Harim, one of the builders of the wall (&nbsp; Nehemiah 3:11 ), belonged cannot be determined. </p>

<p> (Heb. Charim', חָרַם, for חָרַים, i. q. חָרוּם ) ''Flat-Nosed;'' Sept. ᾿Ηράμ, but with many v.r. especially Χαρήμ in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:8, ᾿Ηρίμ in &nbsp;Ezra 2:39, Ι᾿ραμ in &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:5, and ‘ Api in &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:15), the names of several men, mostly about the time of the Captivity.. </p> <p> '''1.''' The head of the second "course" of priests as arranged by David (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:8). B.C. 1014. </p> <p> '''2.''' Apparently an Israelite, whose descendants, to the number of 320 males, or 1017 in all, returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (&nbsp;Ezra 2:32; &nbsp;Ezra 2:39; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:35; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:42. But as among these some are enumerated (&nbsp;Ezra 10:21), as priests in the corresponding lists of those who renounced their [[Gentile]] wives, and others (&nbsp;Ezra 10:31) as; ordinary Israelites, it may be doubted whether Harim was not rather a place whose inhabitants are here spoken of, like others in the same list. Accordingly,. Schwarz identifies it with a village ''Charism,'' situated, according to him, on a bay of the sea eight Eng. miles northeast of Jaffa (Palest. p. 142). He probably means el- Haran-Ali-Ibn-Aleim (Robinson, Researches, 3, 46),. but his explanation of the compound name is not at all. satisfactory. A better supposition, perhaps, is that Harim in these latter passages stands patronymically as a. representation of the family, q.d. Bene-Harim. (See [[Elam]]). </p> <p> '''3.''' The father of Malchijah, which latter repaired part of the walls of [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:11). B.C. ante: 446. Perhaps identical with No. 2. </p> <p> '''4.''' One of the priests that returned from Babylon. with Zerubbabel (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:3, where the name is given' as REHUMI; but compare &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:15, where his son [[Adna]] is named). B.C. 536. Perhaps the same as No. 3. </p> <p> '''5.''' One of those named first among the signers of the. sacred covenant of Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:5). B.C. cir.. 410. Perhaps 1. q. No. 3. </p> <p> '''6.''' Another, a chief of the people, in the same list. (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:27). B.C. cir. 410. Perhaps to be explained like No. 2. </p>
