Jeremoth

English

A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.27.

Jeremoth is mentioned in the book of Ezra as one of the descendants of Zattu who had married a foreign woman during the time of Ezra. When Ezra learned of the widespread intermarriage between the Israelites and the neighboring peoples, he called for repentance and reform. Jeremoth was among those who agreed to send away their foreign wives and children, demonstrating their commitment to obey God's law and maintain the purity of the Israelite community.
