Jeremai

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Jeremai is named once, in Ezra's roster of returned exiles who had taken foreign wives.

Among the Sons of Hashum

The list groups him with six other men of the same household: "Of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei" (Ezr 10:33). Jeremai stands fifth in the seven-name sequence belonging to the family of Hashum, one of several family groupings the chapter identifies as having married outside the post-exilic community.
