Ha'rim (Heb. Charim', d'ln, for tS-^-in, i. q. bil'nn, flat-noscA; Sept. 'Updp, but with many v. rr. especial- ly Xaplifi in 1 Chron. xxiv, 8, 'Hpi'yu in Ezra ii, 39, 'Ipdp in Neh. x, 5, and 'Api in Neh. xii, 15), the name of several men, mostly about the time of the Captivity.
1. The head of the second " course'' of priests as ar- ranged by David (1 Chron. xxiv, 8). B.C. 1014.
2. Apparently an Israelite, whose descendants, to the number of 320 males, or 1017 in all, returned from Bab- ylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra ii, 32, 39; Neh. vii, 35, 42. But as among these some are enumerated (Ezra x, 21) as priests in the corresponding lists of those who re- nounced their Gentile wives, and others (Ezra x, 31) as ordinary Israelites, it maj' be doubted whether Harim was not rather a place whose inhabitants are here spo- ken of, like others in the same list. Accordingly, Schwarz identifies it with a village Charim, situated, according to him, on a bay of the sea eight Eng. miles north-east of Jaffa (Palest, p. 142). He probably means eZ-//rt?YW«-Ali-Ibn-Aleim (Eobinson, Researches, iii, 46), but his explanation of the compound name is not at all satisfactorj'. A better supposition, perhaps, is that Ha- rim in these latter passages stands patronjTnically as a representation of the family, q. d. Berte-IIarim. See Elajf.
3. The father of IMalchijah, which latter repaired part of the walls of Jerusalem (Neh. iii, 11). B.C. ante 446. Perhaps identical with No. 2.
4. One of the priests that returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Neh. xii, 3, where the name is given as Rehuji ; but compare ver. 15, where his son Adna is named). B.C. 536. Perhaps the same as No. 3.
5. One of those named fu-st among the signers of the sacred covenant of Nehemiah (Neh. x, 5). B.C. cir. 410. Perhaps i. q. No. 3.
6. Another, a chief of the people, in the same list (ver. 27). B.C. cir. 410. Perhaps to be explained like No. 2.
Har'iph (Heb. Chariph', ?]"i"iri, aittumncd rain; Sept. 'Apiip, 'Apif), the name apparently of two men.
1. An Israelite whose descendants (or possibly a place whose inhabitants), to the number of 112, returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Neh. vii, 24). In Ezra ii, 18, the name is written in the sjmonATnous form Jorah. B.C. ante 536. Perhaps identical with the Hakepii of 1 Chron. ii, 51. See Haruphite.
2. One of the chief of the people who subscribed the covenant of fidelity to Jehovah with Nehemiah (Neh. X, 19). B.C. cir. 410. Perhaps the name is here only a patronymic contraction for Ben-Hai-ij)h. Sec Harim.
Harlay - ChanvaHon, Francis be, archbishop of Rouen and afterwards of Paris, was bom in the latter city Aug. 14, li;25. He studied at the College of Na- varre, and was immediately appointed abbot of Jumieges by his uncle, the archbishop of Rouen, whom he suc- ceeded in office, Dec. 28, 1651. The looseness of his morals ill fitted him for such a position; yet, connecting himself with cardinal INIazarin, he managed to indulge his evil propensities without losing his credit. He rep- resented the clergy at the coronation of Louis XIV in 1654, and is said to have officiated at the marriage of this king with madame de IMaintenon. His name, his fortune, and the flatteries he showered upon the king caused him to be made archbishop of Paris Jan. 3, 1671, and he received numerous other marks of the royal fa- vor. He died at Conflans, where he possessed a fine es- tate, Aug. 6, 1695. A ready eloquence was joined in him to great ambition, the utmost want of principles, and great intolerance. At Dieppe, where he was mas- ter as temporal lord, he obliged tlie Protestants to come to the cathedral and listen to the sermons he delivered as spiritual lord. He was one of the prime movers of the revocation of the ecUct of Nantes. Although a member of the French Academy, and very fond of mak- ing speeches, none of his discourses were published. He published, however, the Synodicon Parisiense, an ac-

count of all the synorls held by his predecessors. See Legendre, Vie de Harlm/ (Par. 1720, 4to) ; Siivigne, Let- tr('>i (1818), X, 121, 128); Bausset, //«s^ de Feiwlon (2d ed.), i, 51, 55; Hoefer, Now. Biofji. Geneixde, xxiii, 403.
Harlot, WHORE, etc., are terms used somewhat pro- misciHHisly in the Auth. Vers, for several Heb. words of widely different import,
1. 1'roperly MSiT (zoiiah', participle from Tlil, to plai/ the harluf, Sept. 7ro()i'?;,Yulg. meretrir, both these latter terms referring to prostitution for mercenary motives), which occiurs frequently, and is often rendered in our version by the first of the above English words, as in Gen. xxxiv, 31, etc., and sometimes, without apparent reason for the change, by the second, as in I'rov. xxiii, 27,and elsewhere. In Gen. xxxviii, 15, the word is HSIT, " harlot," which, however, becomes changed to tld'lp, " harlot," in vers. 21, 22, which means, literally, a conse- crated woman, a female (perhajjs priestess) devoted to prostitution in honor of some heathen idol. The distinc- tion shows that Judah sujiposed Tamar to be a heathen : the facts, therefore, do not prove that prostitution was then practised between Hebrews.
