Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Harum in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies.

Usage: Harum is a personal name found in the genealogical records of the Bible. It is used to identify a specific individual within the lineage of Judah. The name Harum may carry the connotation of being "devoted" or "consecrated," reflecting a common practice in Hebrew naming conventions where names often held significant meanings or aspirations.

The name Harum, derived from a root meaning "to devote," suggests a cultural emphasis on dedication, possibly to God or a specific purpose. Genealogies were crucial in maintaining tribal and familial identities, especially in post-exilic times when the restoration of Israel's community and religious practices was paramount.
