mer?ḗ-moth, me-rē?moth (מרמות, merēmōth, ?heights?; Μερειμώθ, Mereimṓth):
(1) Son of Uriah (Ezr_8:33), who was head of the 7th course of priests appointed by David (1Ch_24:10, Hakkoz = Koz; compare Neh_3:4, Neh_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 (Ezr_2:61, Ezr_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 (Ezr_8:33), a function reserved for priests alone (Ezr_8:24-28). He takes a double part in the reconstruction under Nehemiah, first as a builder of the wall of the city (Neh_3:4), then as a restorer of that part of the temple abutting on the house of Eliashib the priest (Neh_3:21); ?Marmoth? in 1 Esdras 8:62.
(2) A member of the house of Bani, and, like so many of that house, among those who married and put away foreign wives (Ezr_10:36). He seems to be named Carabasion (!) in the corresponding list of 1 Esdras 9:34.
(3) The name occurs in Neh_10:5 among those who ?seal the covenant? with Nehemiah (Neh_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 (Neh_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 (Neh_12:15) as ?Meraioth? through a scribal error confusing the two Hebrew letters yōdh (y) and ḥōlem (o) for mem (m). A comparison of Neh_12:1-3 and Neh_12:12-15 shows clearly that it is the same person. Note that in Neh_12:15 ?Helkai? is the name of the contemporary leader.

Meremoth
(Heb. Meremoth', מְרֵמוֹת, exaltations), the name of two men at the close of the captivity.
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 (Neh_12:3), BC. 536, and to whom were afterwards consigned the bullion and sacred- vessels forwarded by Ezra (Ezr_8:33). BC. 459. After the statement in Ezr_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 (Neh_3:4; Neh_3:21), BC. 446, and lived to join in the sacred covenant of fidelity to Jehovah (Neh_10:5). BC. cir. 410. In Neh_12:15 he is mentioned by the name of MERAIOTH, as the father of Helkai.
2. (Sept. Μαριμώθ, Vulg. Marimuth.) An Israelite of the sons (? inhabitants) of Bani, who divorced his Gentile wife after the exile (Ezr_10:36). BC. 459.
