Harim
A priestly family line serving in the temple and returning from the Babylonian exile.
Harim represents a prominent priestly house assigned the third lot of service in the temple under King David. The name appears in post-exilic records as a significant clan that returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel and later participated in the covenant renewal under Nehemiah. Because the name is shared by multiple individuals in Ezra and Nehemiah, it likely refers to a lineage or ancestral head rather than a single person.
