Quick answer

Several men from the family of Harim are listed among the offenders. The record continues naming guilty Israelites.

Overview

The list names members of the house of Harim, distinct from the priestly Harim mentioned earlier, who were involved in foreign marriages. The careful enumeration continues to make the repentance concrete and accountable. Such thoroughness conveys the community's earnest desire to be cleansed of its trespass.
