(zehm' uh ritess) Canaanites inhabiting the area north of Lebanon between Arvad and Tripolis (Genesis 10:18; 1 Chronicles 1:16 ). The Zemarites possibly gave their name to the town Sumra in this region. The town figures in the tell Amarna letters and in Assyrian records. NRSV, emended the text of Ezekiel 27:8 to read “men of Zemer” (KJV, “thy wise men, O Tyrus”).
