Bani

Male · 3 cross references

This Bani entry refers to the returnee house or family in Ezra and Nehemiah, not the Levite in Nehemiah's public worship scenes already separately overridden. The name belongs to the broader household memory of restoration. First appears in Ezra 2:10.1

AI summary: This Bani matters because the cross references place the house among those returning from exile and later implicated in the hard work of covenant correction. Its presence across multiple lists gives it continuity within the restored community. Taken together, the material presents this Bani as a returnee family whose members participate in both the rebuilding and reform of post-exilic Judah.1
