Nehemiah 10
1. The names of those who sealed the covenant.
29. The points of the covenant.














Hodiah
The name "Hodiah" is derived from the Hebrew root "הוֹדָיָה" (Hodayah), which means "splendor of Yah" or "praise of Yahweh." This name reflects a deep connection to the worship and reverence of God, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging God's majesty and giving Him glory. In the context of Nehemiah, where the people are renewing their covenant with God, the inclusion of a name that signifies praise underscores the community's commitment to honoring God in all aspects of their lives. Historically, names in the Bible often carried significant meaning and were reflective of the individual's character or the aspirations of their family. Hodiah's presence in this list of signatories to the covenant renewal indicates a personal and communal dedication to living a life that exalts God.

Bani
The name "Bani" comes from the Hebrew "בָּנִי" (Bani), which means "built" or "builder." This name is fitting within the context of Nehemiah, as the book is centered around the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and the restoration of the community. The name "Bani" symbolizes the constructive efforts and the active role that individuals played in the physical and spiritual rebuilding of their society. It serves as a reminder of the importance of being builders in God's kingdom, contributing to the growth and strengthening of the faith community. The historical context of Nehemiah highlights the collective effort required to restore what was broken, and "Bani" represents those who took part in this divine mission.

Beninu
The name "Beninu" is less commonly discussed, but it is believed to be derived from the Hebrew "בְּנִינוּ" (Beninu), which can be interpreted as "our son" or "our offspring." This name may signify the continuation of a legacy or the importance of future generations in maintaining the covenant with God. In the context of Nehemiah, the mention of "Beninu" could symbolize the hope and responsibility placed on the descendants of those who are renewing the covenant. It highlights the forward-looking aspect of the community's commitment, ensuring that the values and faith are passed down to future generations. This reflects a biblical principle of generational faithfulness, where each generation is tasked with upholding and transmitting the teachings and covenant of God to the next.
