Harhur; family head of returning temple servants
Harhur was a family head among the temple servants (Nethinim) who returned from exile, listed in both Ezra 2:51 and Nehemiah 7:53. The name's etymology is uncertain—it may derive from a root meaning 'burning' or 'inflammation,' or possibly relate to a reduplicated form. Like other Nethinim families, the Harhur clan served the temple community in practical, supportive roles.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ezra 2:51 and Nehemiah 7:53 provide parallel attestations of this family name. French and German simply transliterate the Hebrew. The LXX variations (Aρου(α)ρ) show uncertainty about pronunciation. These genealogical lists were crucial for establishing proper credentials for temple service in the post-exilic community. 2×
