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














Bunni
The name "Bunni" is of Hebrew origin, and it is believed to mean "built" or "understanding." In the context of Nehemiah, Bunni is listed among those who sealed the covenant, indicating a commitment to the spiritual and communal renewal of Israel. This reflects a broader theme in Nehemiah of rebuilding not just the physical walls of Jerusalem, but also the spiritual walls of the community. The name itself suggests a foundation or structure, which is fitting for the role these individuals played in re-establishing the covenant with God. Historically, this period was marked by a return to the Law and a reformation of the community's identity, emphasizing the importance of understanding and adhering to God's commandments.

Azgad
"Azgad" is another Hebrew name, which can be translated to mean "strong is Gad" or "Gad is mighty." Gad, one of the tribes of Israel, was known for its strength and warrior spirit. The inclusion of Azgad in the list of covenant signatories underscores the strength and resolve required to uphold the covenant. It serves as a reminder of the divine strength that undergirds the community's efforts to live according to God's will. In the historical context of Nehemiah, the people were facing opposition and challenges, and the name Azgad symbolizes the divine empowerment and courage needed to persevere in the face of adversity.

Bebai
The name "Bebai" is thought to mean "fatherly" or "my father is willing." This name highlights the familial and generational aspect of the covenant renewal. It suggests a continuity of faith and commitment from one generation to the next, emphasizing the role of family and community in maintaining the covenant relationship with God. In the scriptural context, the renewal of the covenant was not just an individual commitment but a collective one, involving entire families and communities. Bebai's inclusion in the list signifies the importance of leadership and willingness to guide others in the path of righteousness, reflecting the broader biblical theme of spiritual inheritance and legacy.
