HARIM

ha'-rim (charim): A family name.

(1) A non-priestly family that returned from captivity with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:32 Nehemiah 7:35); mentioned among those who married foreign wives (Ezra 10:31); also mentioned among those who renewed the covenant (Nehemiah 10:27).

(2) A priestly family returning with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:39 Nehemiah 7:42; Nehemiah 12:3, 15 (see REHUM)); members of this family covenanted to put away their foreign wives (Ezra 10:21 Nehemiah 10:5). A family of this name appears as the third of the priestly courses in the days of David and Solomon (1 Chronicles 24:8).

(3) In Nehemiah 3:11 is mentioned Malchijah, son of Harim, one of the wall-builders. Which family is here designated is uncertain.

(flat-nosed).

A priest who had charge of the third division in the house of God. (1 Chronicles 24:8) (B.C. 1014.)
Bene-Harim, probably descendants of the above, to the number of 1017, came from Babylon with Zerubbabel. (Ezra 2:39; Nehemiah 7:42) (B.C. 536.)
It further occurs in a list of the families of priests "who went up with Zerubbabel and Jeshua," and of those who were their descendants in the next generation. (Nehemiah 12:16)
Another family of Bene-Harim, 320 in number, came from the captivity in the same caravan. (Ezra 2:82; Nehemiah 7:35) (B.C. 536.) They also appear among those who had married foreign wives, (Ezra 10:31) as well as those who sealed the covenant- (Nehemiah 10:27) (B.C. 410.)
