Symbolical name given to the country of the Chaldeans, signifying “double rebellion,” perhaps alluding to the double captivity of the Israelites by Chaldea (Jer. 50:21²¹Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee. (Jeremiah 50:21); compare Jer. 50:25²⁵The Lord hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. (Jeremiah 50:25)).
