Text:EBD:Meroz
Revision as of 18:10, 14 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Meroz (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Meroz)
A plain in the north of Palestine, the inhabitants of which were severely condemned because they came not to help Barak against Sisera (Judg. 5:23: comp. 21:8-10; 1 Sam. 11:7). It has been identified with Marassus, on a knoll to the north of Wady Jalud, but nothing certainly is known of it. Like Chorazin, it is only mentioned in Scripture in connection with the curse pronounced upon it.
