Hem Personer Sina Sina (Sinai) is not primarily a person in the Bible, but the name appears in the genealogies of the Old Testament. In 1 Chronicles 9:7, Sinaa (a variant of Sina) is mentioned among the descendants of Benjamin who returned from exile. He was the son of Hodaviah and belonged to the tribe of Benjamin.
Nyckelhändelser Sina (son of Hassenua/Hodaviah) is mentioned among the descendants of Benjamin who settled in Jerusalem after returning from the Babylonian exile.
7 From the descendants of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah; hebr וּמִן־בְּנֵ֖י בִּנְיָמִ֑ן סַלּוּא֙ בֶּן־מְשֻׁלָּ֔ם בֶּן־הוֹדַוְיָ֖ה בֶּן־הַסְּנֻאָֽה׃
After the Babylonian exile, several families from the tribe of Benjamin returned to Jerusalem, and Sina was among those recorded in the genealogies.
1 So all Israel was registered by genealogy, and these are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. hebr וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הִתְיַחְשׂ֔וּ וְהִנָּ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֔ים עַל־סֵ֖פֶר מַלְכֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וִיהוּדָ֛ה הָגְל֥וּ לְבָבֶ֖ל בְּמַעֲלָֽם׃ ס
2 The first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants. hebr וְהַיּוֹשְׁבִים֙ הָרִ֣אשֹׁנִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּאֲחֻזָּתָ֖ם בְּעָרֵיהֶ֑ם יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים הַלְוִיִּ֖ם וְהַנְּתִינִֽים׃
3 In Jerusalem there lived some of the descendants of Judah, of Benjamin, and of Ephraim and Manasseh: hebr וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ יָשְׁב֔וּ מִן־בְּנֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה וּמִן־בְּנֵ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ן וּמִן־בְּנֵ֥י אֶפְרַ֖יִם וּמְנַשֶּֽׁה׃
Sina and his relatives were among those who settled in Jerusalem after their return home, contributing to rebuilding the community there.
7 These are the Benjaminites: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Joed, son of Pedaiah, son of Kolaiah, son of Maaseiah, son of Ithiel, son of Jeshaiah; hebr וְאֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ן סַלֻּ֡א בֶּן־מְשֻׁלָּ֡ם בֶּן־יוֹעֵ֡ד בֶּן־פְּדָיָה֩ בֶן־ק֨וֹלָיָ֧ה בֶן־מַעֲשֵׂיָ֛ה בֶּן־אִֽיתִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־יְשַֽׁעְיָֽה׃
8 and after him Gabbai and Sallai — 928 in all. hebr וְאַחֲרָ֖יו גַּבַּ֣י סַלָּ֑י תְּשַׁ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת עֶשְׂרִ֥ים וּשְׁמֹנָֽה׃
9 Joel son of Zichri was their overseer, and Judah son of Hassenuah was second in charge of the city. hebr וְיוֹאֵ֥ל בֶּן־זִכְרִ֖י פָּקִ֣יד עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וִיהוּדָ֧ה בֶן־הַסְּנוּאָ֛ה עַל־הָעִ֖יר מִשְׁנֶֽה׃ פ
Benjamin's descendants played an important role in Israel's history, and the genealogies in Chronicles document their place among God's people.
