Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Hara, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not directly mentioned in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The term "Hara" is used in the context of a geographical location to which certain exiles were taken. It appears in the Old Testament in the context of the Assyrian captivity.

Context: Hara is mentioned in the Bible in 1 Chronicles 5:26, where it is listed as one of the places to which the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh were exiled by the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser. The verse states: "So the God of Israel stirred the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), and he took the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day." (BSB)

Hara is understood to be a region within the Assyrian Empire, possibly located in the mountainous areas of Mesopotamia. The exact location of Hara is not definitively known, but it is associated with the broader area of Assyrian deportations. The mention of Hara alongside other locations such as Halah and Habor suggests it was part of the territories used by the Assyrians for resettling exiled populations.
