From the descendants of Bani
The phrase "From the descendants of Bani" introduces us to a specific lineage within the Israelite community. The name "Bani" is derived from the Hebrew root "בָּנִי" (Bani), which means "built" or "constructed." This suggests a family that is established and significant within the community. Historically, the descendants of Bani were among those who returned from the Babylonian exile, indicating their commitment to restoring their heritage and faith.

Meshullam
The name "Meshullam" comes from the Hebrew root "שָׁלַם" (shalom), meaning "peace" or "completeness." Meshullam signifies a person who embodies peace or is complete in their devotion. In the context of Ezra, Meshullam represents those who are willing to make amends and restore their relationship with God, seeking peace through obedience and repentance.

Malluch
"Malluch" is derived from the Hebrew root "מָלַךְ" (malak), meaning "to reign" or "to counsel." This name suggests a person of authority or wisdom. In the historical context, Malluch's inclusion in this list highlights the importance of wise leadership and counsel in guiding the community back to faithfulness.

Adaiah
The name "Adaiah" comes from the Hebrew "עֲדָיָה" (Adayah), meaning "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh has witnessed." This name reflects a deep connection to God, emphasizing divine favor and presence. Adaiah's presence in this list underscores the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, witnessing their actions and adorning them with His grace.

Jashub
"Jashub" is derived from the Hebrew root "שׁוּב" (shuv), meaning "to return" or "to repent." This name is particularly significant in the context of Ezra 10, as it embodies the theme of repentance and returning to God. Jashub represents those who have strayed but are now committed to returning to the covenant relationship with God.

Sheal
The name "Sheal" is less common, but it is thought to be related to the Hebrew root "שָׁאַל" (sha'al), meaning "to ask" or "to inquire." This suggests a person who seeks understanding or guidance. In the context of this passage, Sheal may represent those who are earnestly seeking God's will and direction as they strive to correct their ways.

Jeremoth
"Jeremoth" is derived from the Hebrew "יְרֵמוֹת" (Yeremoth), which may mean "heights" or "elevations." This name could symbolize spiritual elevation or aspiration. In the context of Ezra, Jeremoth represents the hope of rising above past failures and reaching new spiritual heights through repentance and renewal.
