STEPBible TIPNR
Jorah, also called Hariph, was the ancestor of a group of exiles who returned to Jerusalem and Judah from Babylon (Ezr 2:18; Neh 7:24). The return likely took place around 538 BC after the Persian king Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland (Ezr 1:1-4). In the lists of returning exiles, 112 people are identified as descendants of Jorah/Hariph. The different names may reflect variant spellings or perhaps two related family groups. Apart from being listed among the returning exiles, no other details are provided about Jorah/Hariph or his/their descendants.
