MEREMOTH
1. Priest, son of Uriah, grandson of Hakkoz (Ezr 8:33; Neh 3:4, 21). The family of Hakkoz was unable to prove its descent; therefore, they were excluded from the priesthood. Meremoth appears to be an exception. He weighed silver and gold (a priestly function [Ezr 8:24-30]), repaired part of the Jerusalem wall (Neh 3:4, 21), and sealed the covenant (10:5).
2. Priest and Bani’s son, who severed ties with his foreign wife and children at Ezra’s request (Ezr 10:36).
3. Priest who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Neh 12:3) and established the house of priests called Meraioth in Nehemiah 12:15 (though some identify the two references as the same person).
