However, similar themes of covenant and restoration can be found in the Greek New Testament, though not directly linked to the name Jeremai.

Usage: Jeremai is a name found in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of post-exilic genealogies.

Context: Jeremai is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the sons of Bani. In Nehemiah 10:13, he is listed among those who returned from the Babylonian exile and pledged to adhere to the covenant. This context places Jeremai within the group of Israelites who were committed to restoring the religious and social order in Jerusalem after the return from captivity. The mention of Jeremai in this genealogical and covenantal context highlights the importance of family lineage and the collective responsibility of the community in re-establishing their identity and faithfulness to God.
