<p> ''''' mer´ḗ ''''' - ''''' moth ''''' , ''''' me ''''' - ''''' rē´moth ''''' ( מרמות , <i> ''''' merēmōth ''''' </i> , "heights"; Μερειμώθ , <i> ''''' Mereimṓth ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) Son of [[Uriah]] ( Ezra 8:33 ), who was head of the 7th course of priests appointed by [[David]] ( 1 Chronicles 24:10 , [[Hakkoz]] = Koz; compare Nehemiah 3:4 , Nehemiah 3:21 ). The family of Koz were among those unable to prove their pedigree on the return from Babylon, and were therefore deposed as polluted ( Ezra 2:61 , Ezra 2:62 ). Meremoth's division of the family must, however, have been scatheless, for he is employed in the temple after the return as weigher of the gold and the vessels ( Ezra 8:33 ), a function reserved for priests alone ( Ezra 8:24-28 ). He takes a double part in the reconstruction under Nehemiah, first as a builder of the wall of the city ( Nehemiah 3:4 ), then as a restorer of that part of the temple abutting on the house of [[Eliashib]] the priest ( Nehemiah 3:21 ); "Marmoth" in 1 [[Esdras]] 8:62. </p> <p> (2) A member of the house of Bani, and, like so many of that house, among those who married and put away foreign wives ( Ezra 10:36 ). He seems to be named [[Carabasion]] (!) in the corresponding list of 1 Esdras 9:34. </p> <p> (3) The name occurs in Nehemiah 10:5 among those who "seal the covenant" with Nehemiah ( Nehemiah 10:1 ). It may there be the name of an individual (in which case there were 4 of the name), or it may be a family name. Certainly a "Meremoth" came back under [[Zerubbabel]] 100 years before ( Nehemiah 12:3 ), and the signatory in question may be either a descendant of the same name or a family representative. The name recurs later in the same list ( Nehemiah 12:15 ) as "Meraioth" through a scribal error confusing the two [[Hebrew]] letters <i> '''''yōdh''''' </i> ( <i> '''''y''''' </i> ) and <i> '''''ḥōlem''''' </i> ( <i> '''''o''''' </i> ) for <i> '''''mem''''' </i> ( <i> '''''m''''' </i> ). A comparison of Nehemiah 12:1-3 and Nehemiah 12:12-15 shows clearly that it is the same person. Note that in Nehemiah 12:15 "Helkai" is the name of the contemporary leader. </p> <p> (4) For [[Meremoth]] (1 Esdras 8:2 the King James Version).

<p> (Heb. Meremoth', מְרֵמוֹת, exaltations), the name of two men at the close of the captivity. </p> <p> 1. (Sept. Μεραμώθ, Μαρεμώθ, Μαρμώθ, ἀπὸ ῾Ραμώθ v. r. Μαριμώθ , etc.; Vulg. Merimuth). A priest, son of Urijah, and grandson (descendant) of Koz; who returned from Babvlon with [[Zerubbabel]] (Nehemiah 12:3), BC. 536, and to whom were afterwards consigned the bullion and sacred- vessels forwarded by Ezra (Ezra 8:33). BC. 459. "After the statement in Ezra 2:62, respecting the exclusion of the family of [[Koz]] from the priesthood, it is puzzling to find one of this family recognised as a priest; but probably the exclusion did not extend to the whole family, some being able to establish their pedigree" (Kitto). He repaired two sections of the walls of [[Jerusalem]] (Nehemiah 3:4; Nehemiah 3:21), BC. 446, and lived to join in the sacred covenant of fidelity to [[Jehovah]] (Nehemiah 10:5). BC. cir. 410. In Nehemiah 12:15 he is mentioned by the name of MERAIOTH, as the father of Helkai. </p> <p> 2. (Sept. Μαριμώθ , Vulg. Marimuth.) An [[Israelite]] of the "sons" (? inhabitants) of Bani, who divorced his [[Gentile]] wife after the exile (Ezra 10:36). BC. 459. </p> | |||
