Haroeh

הָרֹאֶה/huh-ROH-eh/

“The seer or the seeing one”

Summary

Haroeh, meaning "the seer," was a son of Shobal in the genealogies of Judah, apparently the same person as Reaiah in a parallel list.

☩In Judah's Genealogy

Haroeh appears in the descendants of Shobal, who was a descendant of Judah through Caleb. The name means "the seer" or "the seeing one." By comparing parallel genealogical lists, Haroeh in 1 Chronicles 2:52 appears to be the same person as Reaiah in 1 Chronicles 4:2, with the names being variant forms or perhaps a title and a personal name.
