Supported# Bani (H1137N): A Biblical Name Based on the lexical data provided, Bani (בָּנִי) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun—specifically a personal name. With only a single occurrence documented in the biblical text, this entry represents an individual rather than a common word with multiple meanings or applications. The minimal frequency of this name in the biblical record prevents extensive analysis of its usage patterns or theological significance within scripture. Unlike frequently occurring Hebrew words that demonstrate semantic range and contextual variation, Bani appears to mark a specific historical or genealogical reference point. Without additional occurrences to establish broader patterns, the lexical data limits us to recognizing it simply as a name applied to one person in the biblical narrative. To understand the fuller significance of Bani within biblical tradition, one would need to consult the specific biblical passage where this name appears and examine its immediate context—information not contained in the lexical data itself but essential for understanding why this individual was recorded in scripture.
