Chenani
Chenani
(Hebrews Kenani, , probably abridged from , Chenaniah; Sept. v. r. ), one of the Levites who offered the public prayer on the occasion of the fast at the return from the captivity (Neh 9:4). B.C. 459. By the Sept. the word “Bani” () preceding is read (like others adjoining), as if meaning “sons of Chenani.” This reading is very probable, for there is not only another Bani in the verse, but one of Kennicott’s MSS. (180), and six of De Eossi’s, read , “sons of Chenani,” instead of 8, “Bani, Chenani” (for there is no conjunction in the original). The Peshito version assimilates the names of Neh 9:4 to those of Neh 9:5, omits Chenani. and in place of it reads Pethahia. In the omission of Chenani, it is supported by the Cod. Frid.-August of the Sept., which omits (prima mana). The Vulgate and A. V., adhering to the Masoretic pointing, insert “and.”

Chenani
ke-nan (, kenan, planted): One of the names mentioned in Neh 9:4, in connection with the constitution of congregation. If the names represent houses or families, eight Levitical houses probably sang some well-known psalm on this occasion. If they are names of individual representatives, they were probably deputed to recite or chant some special prayer in order to lead the worship of the people.
