Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Bani in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and history.

Usage: The name "Bani" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, primarily associated with the post-exilic period. The name itself suggests a connotation of "builder" or "one who builds," reflecting the root meaning of construction or establishment.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Bani appears in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its temple. This period was marked by a strong emphasis on re-establishing religious and social order according to the Law of Moses. The individuals named Bani were likely involved in these efforts, contributing to the restoration of the Jewish community in their ancestral homeland.
