The name "Bani" appears in several places in the Old Testament, often associated with the tribe of Levi, which was responsible for religious duties in Israel. This connection suggests that the descendants of Bani may have had a role in the religious restoration of Jerusalem.<br><br>The number "642" indicates the count of individuals from this family who returned. This specific number highlights the detailed record-keeping and the importance of each family in the restoration process. The precision in numbers underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land, as prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10-14</a>.<br><br>The return of the exiles, including the descendants of Bani, is part of the larger narrative of restoration and rebuilding, which is a central theme in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. This return is seen as a fulfillment of God's covenant promises and a precursor to the coming of the Messiah, who would ultimately restore and redeem God's people.<br><br>In the broader biblical context, the return from exile is a type of the ultimate redemption found in Jesus Christ. Just as the exiles were brought back to their homeland, believers are brought back into a right relationship with God through Christ. The meticulous listing of names and numbers in <a href="/ezra/2.htm">Ezra 2</a> serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and His attention to each individual within His covenant community.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/bani.htm">Bani</a></b><br>Bani is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, often associated with the returnees from the Babylonian exile.
