1:10) (B.C. 483-475.)
Harbonah
(Esther 7:9) the same as the preceding.
Hare
(Heb. arnebeth) occurs only in (Leviticus 11:6) and Deuteronomy 14:7 Amongst the animals
disallowed as food by the Mosaic law. The hare is at this day called arnel by the Arabs in Palestine
and Syria. It was erroneously thought by the ancient Jews to have chewed the cud. They were no
doubt misled as in the case of the shaphfan (hyrax), by the habit these animals have of moving the
jaw about.
Harem
[House]
Hareph
(a plucking off), a name occurring in the genealogies of Judah as a son of Caleb and as “father
of Bethgader.” (1 Chronicles 2:51) only.
Hareth
(thicket), The forest of, in which David took refuge, after at the instigation of the prophet Gad,
he had quitted the “hold” or fastness of the cave of Adullam. (1 Samuel 22:6)
Harhaiah
(the Lord is angry), father of Uzziel. (Nehemiah 3:8) (B.C. before 446.)
Harhur
(inflammation). The sons of Harhur were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with
Zerubbabel. (Ezra 2:51; Nehemiah 7:53) (B.C. 623.)
Harim
(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.)
Hariph
(a plucking-off). A hundred and twelve of the Bene-Hariph returned from the captivity with
Zerubbabel. (Nehemiah 7:24) The name occurs again among the “heads of the people” who sealed
the covenant. ch. (Nehemiah 10:19)
Harlot
That this class of persons existed in the earliest states of society is clear from (Genesis 38:15)
Rahab, (Joshua 2:1) is said by the Chald. Paraphr. to have been an innkeeper; but if there were such
persons, considering what we know of Canaanitish morals, (Leviticus 18:27) we may conclude that
they would, if women, have been of this class. The “harlots” are classed with “publicans,” as those
who lay under the ban of society, in the New Testament. (Matthew 21:32)
