The name "Haroeh" appears in <a href="/1_chronicles/2-52.htm">1 Chronicles 2:52</a>, where he is identified as a descendant of Judah through Caleb. The name Haroeh means "the seer" or "the visionary," which may indicate a role or characteristic attributed to him or his lineage.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context</b><br><br>In <a href="/1_chronicles/2-52.htm">1 Chronicles 2:52</a>, Haroeh is listed as a descendant of Caleb, the son of Hur. The verse states: "The descendants of Shobal the father of Kiriath-jearim were Haroeh, half of the Manahathites." This places Haroeh within the broader context of the genealogies that trace the lineage of the tribes of Israel, specifically focusing on the descendants of Judah. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial connections among the tribes and notable figures of Israel.<br><br><b>Tribal Associations</b><br><br>Haroeh's association with the tribe of Judah, through Caleb, is significant. Caleb is a prominent figure known for his faithfulness and courage, particularly during the exploration of Canaan (Numbers 13-14). The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles highlight the importance of lineage and heritage in the history of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's promises through specific family lines.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Significance</b><br><br>The mention of Haroeh in the genealogies underscores the importance of recording family histories and tribal affiliations in ancient Israel. These records were crucial for maintaining the identity and heritage of the Israelite people, especially during and after the Babylonian exile. The genealogies served not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's covenantal promises to His people.<br><br><b>Interpretative Considerations</b><br><br>The name "Haroeh," meaning "the seer," may suggest a role of spiritual insight or leadership within his community. In the biblical context, seers were individuals who received divine revelations and guidance, often serving as intermediaries between God and the people. While the text does not provide specific details about Haroeh's life or actions, his inclusion in the genealogical record may imply a level of significance or respect within his lineage.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While Haroeh is a relatively obscure figure in the biblical narrative, his mention in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in the history of Israel. His name, meaning "the seer," may suggest a role of spiritual significance, reflecting the broader themes of divine guidance and covenantal faithfulness that permeate the biblical text.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Haroeh</span><p>a name occurring in the genealogical lists of Judah.
