Harim is listed among the heads of the priestly courses in <a href="/1_chronicles/24-8.htm">1 Chronicles 24:8</a>. This indicates a lineage of significant religious responsibility and heritage. The mention of Harim here underscores the gravity of the situation, as even those from esteemed priestly lines were involved in the issue of intermarriage with foreign women, which was against the Mosaic Law (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-3.htm">Deuteronomy 7:3-4</a>).<p><b>Maaseiah:</b><br>The name Maaseiah means "work of the Lord" or "Yahweh is a refuge." This name appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with individuals in positions of leadership or religious service. The presence of Maaseiah in this list highlights the personal and communal repentance required to restore covenant faithfulness.<p><b>Elijah:</b><br>Elijah, meaning "My God is Yahweh," is a name that evokes the memory of the prophet Elijah, who was a staunch defender of monotheism and the worship of Yahweh alone. This connection serves as a reminder of the need for spiritual purity and dedication to God, themes central to the reforms being undertaken in Ezra's time.<p><b>Shemaiah:</b><br>Shemaiah means "heard by Yahweh." This name is significant in the context of repentance and confession, as it suggests that God hears the cries of His people when they turn back to Him. Shemaiah's inclusion in this list emphasizes the importance of listening to God's commands and responding in obedience.<p><b>Jehiel:</b><br>Jehiel means "God lives" or "may God live." This name reflects the enduring presence and sovereignty of God over Israel. The inclusion of Jehiel in this list serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, which requires holiness and separation from pagan practices.<p><b>Uzziah:</b><br>Uzziah means "Yahweh is my strength." This name underscores the reliance on God's strength to overcome sin and restore righteousness. Uzziah's presence in this list highlights the need for divine assistance in the process of repentance and reform, as the people sought to align themselves with God's will and law.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/harim.htm">Harim</a></b><br>A priestly family line mentioned in the context of those who had taken foreign wives, contrary to the Law of Moses.
