Accepted Answer

Ezra 10:29 lists several men—Meshullam, Malluch, Adaiah, Jashub, Sheal, and Ramoth—who are identified as sons of Bani. This verse is part of a record naming individuals involved in a specific situation during Ezra’s time. In the context of Ezra chapter 10, this list is part of a public accounting of those who had taken foreign wives, which was seen as a problem for the returned exiles trying to restore their community according to the Law of Moses. The verse simply names these men as part of that group, showing the detailed and personal nature of the record.
