נחמיה, פרק י״ב, פסוק ט״ו

The historical records carefully track the leadership of the priestly families, detailing the specific representatives for each group. As these lineages are documented, certain family names serve as direct links to earlier accounts. The lineage of Charim, for example, represents the priestly family of Rehum that was noted earlier in the record. Likewise, the family known as Meraioth refers directly to the family of Meremoth [רלב״ג].
