Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name בֻּנִּי (Bunni, Buni) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Bunni appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically among the Levites and those involved in the religious and communal restoration efforts after the Babylonian exile. Context: Bunni is a name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in Nehemiah 9:4 and Nehemiah 10:15. In Nehemiah 9:4, Bunni is listed among the Levites who stood on the stairs and called out to the people during a public confession of sins and a renewal of the covenant. This event was part of a larger movement led by Ezra and Nehemiah to restore the religious and social order of the Jewish community in Jerusalem. In Nehemiah 10:15, Bunni is mentioned as one of the signatories of the covenant, indicating his role as a leader and representative of the people in this significant moment of recommitment to the laws of God. The name Bunni, derived from the root meaning "to build," may symbolically reflect the rebuilding efforts of the community during this period.
