Supported# Bani (H1137I): A Biblical Name Entry Based on the lexicon data provided, H1137I identifies **Bani** as a Hebrew proper noun—specifically a personal name. The single occurrence in biblical texts indicates this was a figure of limited narrative prominence compared to frequently mentioned individuals in Scripture. Without additional context from the lexicon data regarding genealogy, tribal affiliation, or the specific biblical passage where Bani appears, the available information permits only a minimal analysis. The word functions as a designation for an individual within the biblical text rather than as a common noun with semantic range or metaphorical applications. The rarity of occurrence (one mention) suggests Bani was either a minor figure in Israel's history or genealogical records, or an individual mentioned only in passing within a longer genealogical or narrative section. To understand Bani's historical or religious significance, one would need supplementary information beyond the current lexicon entry—such as the biblical book and verse, family connections, or any role Bani played in biblical events.
