Nehemiah 10
1. The names of those who sealed the covenant.
29. The points of the covenant.














Hodiah
The name "Hodiah" is derived from the Hebrew root "הוֹדָיָה" (Hodayah), which means "splendor of Yah" or "praise of Yahweh." This name reflects a deep connection to the worship and reverence of God, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging God's majesty and giving Him glory. In the context of Nehemiah, where the people are renewing their covenant with God, the inclusion of a name that signifies praise underscores the community's commitment to honoring God in all aspects of their lives. Historically, names in the Bible often carried significant meaning and were reflective of the individual's role or the community's aspirations. Hodiah's presence in this list of signatories to the covenant renewal highlights the collective dedication to living a life that praises and glorifies God.

Bani
The name "Bani" comes from the Hebrew "בָּנִי" (Bani), which means "built" or "builder." This name is fitting in the context of Nehemiah, as the book focuses on the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and the restoration of the community's spiritual and social structures. The name "Bani" symbolizes the active participation in God's work of restoration and renewal. It serves as a reminder that each individual has a role in building up the community of faith, contributing to the larger mission of establishing a society that reflects God's kingdom. The historical context of Nehemiah, with its emphasis on reconstruction and reform, aligns with the meaning of "Bani," highlighting the importance of being builders of faith and community.

Beninu
The name "Beninu" is less common and its exact meaning is not as clear as some other names. However, it is likely derived from the Hebrew root "בֵּן" (Ben), meaning "son." In biblical times, names that included "Ben" often indicated lineage or heritage, emphasizing the importance of family and ancestry. In the context of Nehemiah, the inclusion of "Beninu" in the list of covenant signatories may signify the importance of recognizing one's heritage and the responsibility to uphold the faith and traditions passed down through generations. This reflects a commitment to continuity and faithfulness to God's covenant, ensuring that future generations remain connected to their spiritual roots. The historical setting of Nehemiah, with its focus on re-establishing the community's identity and faithfulness to God, underscores the significance of maintaining a strong lineage of faith.
