Meremoth was a priest who returned from the Babylonian exile. He was among those who received the silver, gold, and vessels brought back to Jerusalem by Ezra (Ezra 8:33). During the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, Meremoth, the son of Uriah, repaired two sections of the wall (Nehemiah 3:4,21). He is also listed among the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah to follow the Law of God (Nehemiah 10:5). In the lists of priests and Levites who returned with Zerubbabel, Meremoth is mentioned as the head of a priestly family (Nehemiah 12:3,15).
