<p> '''''bin´ū̇''''' -'''''ı̄''''' ( בּנּוּי , <i> '''''binnūy''''' </i> , a proper name, "a building up"): </p> <p> (1) A L evite, living in the time of Ezra (&nbsp;Ezra 8:33; &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:9; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:8 ). </p> <p> (2) One of the <i> '''''benē Paḥath''''' </i> - <i> '''''mō'abh''''' </i> who had taken foreign wives (&nbsp;Ezra 10:30 - B alnuus of 1 [[Esdras]] 9:31) and one of the , <i> '''''benē Bānı̄''''' </i> (&nbsp;Ezra 10:38 ) who had also intermarried. </p> <p> (3) The son of Henadad, who built part of the wall of [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:24 ), and sealed the covenant with Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:9 ). In all probability he is identical with "Bavvai, the son of Henadad" mentioned in &nbsp;Nehemiah 3:18 . "Bavvai" is either a corruption of "Binnui," or is the name of the [[Levitical]] house of which [[Bavvai]] was the chief representative. Binnui is mentioned in &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:9 as a leading Levite, and, besides, the names in these verses are obviously those of priests and Levites; so the former theory is probably correct. </p> <p> (4) Head of a family who returned with Zerubbabel (&nbsp;Nehemiah 7:15; &nbsp;Ezra 2:10 ). </p>
