- Personal name meaning, bitter. Major division of priests descended from Merari, the third son of Levi. The Merarites and Gershonites were responsible for the set up, breakdown, and transport of the tabernacle (Num 10:17; 3:36-37; 4:29-33; 7:8). The Merarites received an allotment of twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun, including Ramoth-Gilead, a city of refuge (Josh 21:7, 34-40; 1 Chr 6:63, 77-81). Representatives of the Merarites participated in David’s move of the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chr 15:6), served as tabernacle musicians (1 Chr 15:17, 19) and gatekeepers (1 Chr 26:10, 19), shared in Hezekiah’s (2 Chr 29:12) and Josiah’s (2 Chr 34:12) reforms, and returned from Exile to assist in the new Temple (Ezra 8:19).
