Subjects in this Topic:

hā´ra (הרא, hārā'; Septuagint omits): A place named in along with Halah, Habor and the river of Gozan, whither the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh were carried by Tiglath-pileser. In ; , Hara is omitted, and in both, “and in the cities of the Medes” is added. Septuagint renders ὄρη Μήδων, órē Mḗdōn, “the mountains of the Medes,” which may represent Hebrew הרי מדי, hārē mādhay, “mountains of Media,” or, ערי מדי, ‛ārē mādhay, “cities of Media.” The text seems to be corrupt. The second word may have fallen out in , hārē being changed to hārā'̌.
