However, the Greek Septuagint may transliterate Hebrew names into Greek characters without providing a distinct Greek word.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Meraioth is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a priestly figure, specifically a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses. The name is associated with the priestly lineage and is mentioned in genealogical records.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the character or destiny of the individual. The name Meraioth, derived from a root meaning "rebellious," might suggest a historical or familial context of contention or struggle. The priestly lineage, to which Meraioth belongs, played a crucial role in the religious and social life of Israel, responsible for temple worship and maintaining the covenantal relationship between God and His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>pl. of <a href="/hebrew/4811.htm">Merayah</a><br><span
