Ezra 10

6. Ezra assembles the people
9. The people repent, and promise amendment
15. The care to perform it
18. The names of them which had married strange wives














From the descendants of Bani
This phrase introduces us to a specific lineage within the Israelite community. The name "Bani" is derived from the Hebrew root "בָּנָה" (banah), meaning "to build" or "to construct." This suggests a heritage of establishing or constructing, possibly reflecting the role of this family in rebuilding the community or the temple. Historically, the descendants of Bani were among those who returned from the Babylonian exile, emphasizing their commitment to restoring Israel's spiritual and communal life.

Maadai
The name Maadai is of Hebrew origin, possibly meaning "ornament" or "adorned." This could symbolize the beauty and value of returning to God's covenant and the spiritual adornment of the community through repentance and renewal. In the context of Ezra, Maadai represents an individual who is part of the collective effort to purify the community by addressing intermarriage issues, thus adorning the community with righteousness.

Amram
Amram is a name that means "exalted people" or "the people are exalted." This name carries a significant historical weight, as Amram is also the name of Moses' father, linking this individual to a legacy of leadership and deliverance. In the context of Ezra, the mention of Amram may inspire the community to aspire to the exalted status of their forefathers by adhering to God's laws and separating themselves from foreign influences.

Uel
The name Uel is less common, and its meaning is not entirely clear, but it may be related to the Hebrew "אוּר" (ur), meaning "light" or "fire," combined with "אֵל" (El), meaning "God." This could be interpreted as "light of God" or "God is light," symbolizing divine guidance and illumination. Uel's inclusion in this list highlights the role of divine guidance in the community's efforts to reform and align themselves with God's will.
