Tel-harsa
Tel-harsa
(Heb. [for Chald.] Tel-charsha’, , hill of the artificer [ Gesenius, of the wood; Frst, of the Magus],; Sept. v.r. ; Vulg. Thelharsa), one of the Babylonian towns, or villages, from which some Jews, who could not show their father’s house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel, returned to Judaea with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2, 59; Neh 7:61 [A.V. Tel-haresha]). It probably was in the low country near the sea, in the neighborhood of Tel-melah and Cherub, places which are associated with it. Herzfeld’s conjecture (Gesch. Isr. 1, 452) that the name is connected with the river Haran, in Susiana (Ammian. Marc. 23:p. 325, Bip.) is very precarious.
