Meremoth — a priestly name borne by several individuals in the post-exilic community (Ezra, Nehemiah).
A proper masculine name appearing in the post-exilic books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Meremoth was a priest in the time of Zerubbabel (Neh 12:3), and another Meremoth son of Uriah oversaw the weighing of temple silver and gold upon the return from Babylon (Ezra 8:33) and helped rebuild two sections of Jerusalem's wall (Neh 3:4, 21). A third Meremoth is listed among those who had taken foreign wives (Ezra 10:36). The Septuagint renders the name variously as Mareimouth, Mereimouth, and Ieramoth, reflecting fluidity in Greek transliteration of Hebrew sibilant-liquid clusters.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper name Meremoth, designating at least two or three distinct Israelites in the post-exilic period. The most prominent is the priest Meremoth son of Uriah who received the temple treasures from Ezra (Ezra 8:33) and repaired two wall sections (Neh 3:4, 21). Spanish and English consistently transliterate the name, while German retains the Hebrew characters, reflecting the name's limited familiarity outside Semitic traditions. 6×
