Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּנָה (banah), meaning "to build."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name בִּנְעָא in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the concept of rebuilding and restoration, which is associated with the root of the name, can be linked to various Greek terms related to construction and renewal in the New Testament.

Usage: The name בִּנְעָא appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically in the book of Nehemiah.

Context: Bina/Binah is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the individuals who returned from the Babylonian exile. In Nehemiah 10:9, Bina is listed among the Levites who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah. This indicates that Bina was part of the religious leadership and played a role in the spiritual renewal of the community. The name itself, derived from the root meaning "to build," may symbolize the rebuilding efforts of the Jewish people during this period, both physically in terms of the city and temple, and spiritually in terms of their covenant relationship with God.
