Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root מָרָה (marah), meaning "to be rebellious" or "to be contentious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Merajoth, as it is a specific Hebrew name found in the Old Testament. However, the concept of rebellion or contentiousness can be related to Greek terms such as ἀντιλογία (antilogia, Strong's Greek 485), meaning "contradiction" or "rebellion," which captures a similar thematic element. Usage: The name Merajoth appears in genealogical contexts within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the lineage of the Levitical priesthood. Context: • Merajoth is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties in ancient Israel. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 9:12, where Merajoth is listed as an ancestor of a priestly family. This passage highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the Levitical order, underscoring the continuity of priestly duties through generations. The mention of Merajoth in this context serves to establish the legitimacy and historical roots of the priestly line, emphasizing the role of family and tradition in maintaining religious practices. The name itself, meaning "rebellious," may reflect a characteristic or notable event associated with the individual or family, although specific details are not provided in the biblical text.
