Description
Who was Meremoth?
Meremoth is mentioned in the book of Ezra as one of the Israelites who had married foreign women during the Babylonian exile (Ezr.10.36). After Ezra's prayer of confession and call for repentance, the people assembled and agreed to put away their foreign wives and children. Meremoth was among those who had taken foreign wives, but no further information about his specific situation or response to Ezra's call is provided in the biblical text.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
