However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Μεραρί (Merari).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Merari is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "bitter" or "strong." It is primarily used to refer to the third son of Levi, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The descendants of Merari, known as the Merarites, were one of the Levitical families responsible for specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties. The Merarites, as descendants of Merari, were assigned specific responsibilities in the service of the tabernacle. According to Numbers 3:36-37, their duties included the care of the frames of the tabernacle, its bars, pillars, bases, and all its equipment. This role was crucial for the mobility and maintenance of the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and later in the temple service.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4847.htm">Merari</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>desc. of Merari<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Merarites (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">מְרָרִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>of above, only with article as substantive collective</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הַמּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/26-57.htm">Numbers 26:57</a>. <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">מרר</font> (√ of following;
