Harim חָרִם
Father of Malchijah, a builder of Jerusalem's wall.
Who is Harim in the Bible?
Harim was the father of Malchijah, a builder who participated in the reconstruction of Jerusalem's wall during the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 3:11). While Harim himself is mentioned only briefly in Scripture, he is significant as the father of Malchijah, who took responsibility for repairing a section of the wall and the Tower of the Ovens. This construction project was crucial for restoring Jerusalem's defensive capabilities after the exile, and Malchijah's work under his father's line represents the broader communal effort to rebuild the city.
