Binnui Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Binnui was an Israelite mentioned among the descendants of Pahath-moab who had married foreign wives during the time of Ezra (Ezr. 10:30). After the return from Babylonian exile, Ezra discovered that many Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the neighboring peoples, contrary to God's commands. This posed a threat to the spiritual purity and distinct identity of the Jewish community. Ezra called for an assembly, where the people confessed their sin and agreed to separate from their foreign wives. Binnui was one of the individuals who took this step, demonstrating repentance and a commitment to follow God's laws.
