Meaning: Charim

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַם (charam), meaning "to ban" or "to devote to destruction."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Harim, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies and priestly families.

Usage: The name "Harim" is used in the Bible to refer to several individuals and a priestly family. It is associated with those who returned from the Babylonian exile and were involved in the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. The name itself may imply a sense of being "devoted" or "consecrated."

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Harim appears in post-exilic contexts, particularly in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. During this period, the Jewish people were returning from Babylonian captivity and were focused on restoring their religious and communal life in Jerusalem. The priestly and Levitical families, including those named Harim, played crucial roles in re-establishing temple worship and maintaining the religious identity of the community.
