This reflects the importance of family and tribal identity in Jewish culture, as well as the fulfillment of God's promise to restore His people to their land. Binnui is also mentioned in Ezra 8:33, where a person by this name is involved in the handling of temple treasures, suggesting a role of responsibility and trust within the community.
