        <p> 1: A [[Levite]] who returned from exile. Nehemiah 9:4 . </p> <p> 2. One who sealed the covenant. Nehemiah 10:15 . </p> <p> 3. Ancestor of a family of Levites. Nehemiah 11:15 . </p>

        <p> Bun'ni. (my understanding). </p> <p> 1. One of the Levites, in the time of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 9:4. </p> <p> 2. Another Levite, but of an earlier date than Bunni, 1. Nehemiah 11:15. </p>

        <p> '''''bun´ı̄''''' ( בּנּי , <i> '''''bunnı̄''''' </i> , בּוּני , <i> '''''būnı̄''''' </i> , בּוּנּי , <i> '''''būnnı̄''''' </i> ; compare [[Bani]] ): </p> <p> (1) A L evite ( Nehemiah 9:4 ). The repetition of Bani's name in this passage is probably a scribal error. The [[Syriac]] version for the second "Bani" reads "Binnui"; but as, in Nehemiah 10:9 and Nehemiah 12:8 , Binnui's name comes, as here, between those of [[Jeshua]] and Kadmiel, we should substitute [[Binnui]] here for the first Bani. The [[Septuagint]] renders all three names as if the [[Hebrew]] in each case had been בּני , <i> '''''benē''''' </i> , "sons of," reducing the proper names in the verse to five. The names probably stand for chief Levitical houses rather than individuals. </p> <p> (2) Another Levite, one of the overseers of the temple, father of Hashabiah, according to Nehemiah 11:15; but, according to 1 Chronicles 9:14 , [[Hashabiah]] is "of the sons of Merari" The reading in Nehemiah is a corruption of the one in Ch. </p>

        <p> the name of two Levites. </p> <p> 1. (Heb. בּוּנַּי, Bunni', either considerate, or the same name as BINNUI; Sept. Βοννά.) The great-great-grandfather of one Shemaiah, which latter was appointed an overseer of the [[Temple]] after the captivity ( Nehemiah 11:15). B.C. long ante 536. </p> <p> 2. (Heb. בֻּנּי, Bunni', built, Sept. translates υἱός, υἱοί.) One of those who pronounced the public prayer and thanksgiving, and sealed the covenant on the return from [[Babylon]] ( Nehemiah 9:4; Nehemiah 10:15). B.C. 410. </p> <p> 3. [[Bunni]] is said to have been the [[Jewish]] name of [[Nicodemus]] (Lightfoot on John 3:1; Ewald, Isr. Gesch. v. 233). (See [[Nicodemus]]). </p>
