His name, which may mean "built up" or "building," appears in several contexts, highlighting his role in the restoration efforts following the Babylonian exile.<br><br>1. <b>Binnui the Levite</b>: Binnui is identified as a Levite who played a significant role in the religious and communal restoration of Jerusalem. In <a href="/nehemiah/10-9.htm">Nehemiah 10:9</a>, Binnui is listed among the Levites who sealed the covenant, a solemn agreement to follow the Law of God as given through Moses. This covenant was a critical step in re-establishing the religious identity and practices of the Jewish people after their return from exile. The Berean Standard Bible states: "The Levites: Jeshua son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel."<br><br>2. <b>Binnui the Builder</b>: In the book of Nehemiah, Binnui is also mentioned in the context of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. <a href="/nehemiah/3-24.htm">Nehemiah 3:24</a> records his involvement in the construction efforts: "After him, Binnui son of Henadad repaired another section, from the house of Azariah to the angle and the corner." This passage highlights Binnui's active participation in the physical restoration of the city, which was essential for the security and stability of the returning exiles.<br><br>3. <b>Binnui and the Issue of Intermarriage</b>: Binnui is also noted in the book of Ezra for his involvement in addressing the issue of intermarriage with foreign women, which was seen as a violation of the covenantal laws. <a href="/ezra/10-38.htm">Ezra 10:38</a> lists Binnui among those who had taken foreign wives and were required to put them away to maintain the purity of the Israelite community: "And among the sons of Binnui: Shimei." This action was part of a broader reform led by Ezra to ensure the community's adherence to the Law.<br><br>4. <b>Binnui's Lineage</b>: Binnui is often associated with the family of Henadad, as seen in the references in Nehemiah. This connection places him within a lineage that was actively involved in the religious and civic life of the post-exilic community. The family of Henadad is mentioned several times in the context of the rebuilding efforts, indicating their significant contribution to the restoration of Jerusalem.<br><br>Binnui's presence in these key events underscores the importance of leadership and commitment to God's commandments during a pivotal time in Israel's history. His actions, along with those of his contemporaries, helped lay the foundation for the renewed community of faith in Jerusalem.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Binnui</span><p>building<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Binnui</span><p>(<i>familyship</i>). <ol> <li>A Levite, father of Noadiah.

In all probability he is identical with "Bavvai, the son of Henadad" mentioned in <a href="/nehemiah/3-18.htm">Nehemiah 3:18</a>. "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 <a href="/nehemiah/10-9.htm">Nehemiah 10:9</a> 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.
