Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Harum is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. His name appears in the context of the lineage of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name "Harum" is derived from a Hebrew root that may mean "exalted" or "high," though the exact etymology is not definitively established.Biblical References: Harum is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:8, which is part of the genealogical listings that trace the descendants of Judah. The verse states: "and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Zobebah, and the clans of Aharhel son of Harum." (1 Chronicles 4:8) This passage situates Harum within the broader context of the descendants of Judah, highlighting his role as an ancestor to the clan of Aharhel. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the tribal and familial lines that are significant for understanding the heritage and history of the Israelite people. Historical and Theological Context: The genealogies in 1 Chronicles, including the mention of Harum, are part of a larger effort to document the lineage of the tribes of Israel after the Babylonian exile. These records were crucial for the post-exilic community as they sought to re-establish their identity and heritage in the Promised Land. The Chronicler's emphasis on genealogies underscores the importance of family and tribal connections in maintaining the covenant relationship with God. From a theological perspective, the inclusion of Harum in the genealogical record reflects the biblical theme of God's faithfulness to His people through generations. Each name in these lists, including Harum's, represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the coming of the Messiah through the line of Judah. Cultural and Genealogical Significance: In ancient Israelite culture, genealogies were not merely records of ancestry but were also vital for legal, social, and religious purposes. They determined land inheritance, tribal affiliation, and eligibility for certain religious roles. Harum's mention, though brief, contributes to the understanding of the tribal structure and familial relationships within the tribe of Judah. The genealogical records, including those mentioning Harum, also serve to affirm the continuity of God's promises to the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—and their descendants. They highlight the enduring nature of God's covenant and His ongoing involvement in the lives of His people. Conclusion: While Harum is a relatively obscure figure in the biblical narrative, his inclusion in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles underscores the importance of every individual in the unfolding account of God's people. Through these records, the Bible affirms the value of each person in the divine plan and the interconnectedness of the community of faith.
