Old Testament
Jeremoth
A name shared by several men in the Old Testament, including a descendant of Benjamin and a man who married a foreign wife.
The name Jeremoth appears in various genealogies and lists throughout 1 Chronicles and Ezra. One Jeremoth is identified as a son of Becher in the tribe of Benjamin, while another is listed among those who took foreign wives during the post-exilic period under Ezra. These mentions serve to document the lineage of Israel and the specific challenges of maintaining covenant purity after the return from Babylonian exile.
