The name Hariph is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, suggesting that this family might not have been prominent in earlier biblical narratives. However, their inclusion in the list signifies their importance in the restoration of Jerusalem and the reestablishment of the Jewish community. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God’s faithfulness in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises, as seen in the return from exile.<p><b>112;</b><br>The number 112 indicates the count of individuals from the family of Hariph who returned to Jerusalem. This precise number underscores the meticulous record-keeping and organization during the rebuilding efforts led by Nehemiah. It highlights the importance of each family and individual in the collective effort to restore the city and its religious practices. This attention to detail is reminiscent of other biblical genealogies and censuses, such as those found in the books of Numbers and Chronicles, which emphasize the continuity and identity of God's people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>The central figure in the book, Nehemiah was a Jewish leader who played a crucial role in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
