Context: Bunni is a name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in Nehemiah 9:4 and Nehemiah 10:15. In Nehemiah 9:4, Bunni is listed among the Levites who stood on the stairs and called out to the people during a public confession of sins and a renewal of the covenant. This event was part of a larger movement led by Ezra and Nehemiah to restore the religious and social order of the Jewish community in Jerusalem.
