("consecrated to the Lord")
1. A descendant of Aaron, a priest, head of the third division of Levites who officiated in the House of the Lord at the time of King David.
2. The head of a family who returned from the Exile in Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:32) and settled in Jerusalem (Neh 7:35). This family, or another of the same name, is mentioned again in the same chapters (Ezra 2:39; Neh 7:42); and Harim appears twice in the list of those who sealed the covenant at the time of Nehemiah (Neh 10:5, 27).
3. No less than ten sons of Harim are listed among those who had taken pagan wives and had to repudiate them upon the decree of Ezra (Ezra 10:18-19, 21, 31).
4. Father of Malchijah; he was among those who repaired a section of the wall of Jerusalem.
5. A Levite who returned from the Exile in Babylon with Zerubbabel.
