- בָּנָה bânâh · H1129 · to build, to rebuild, to establish
- בָּנָה (bânâh, H1129) is the general Hebrew verb for building/construction activity, while ἀνοικοδομέω (anoikodoméō, G456) specifically denotes rebuilding (re-construction of what was previously destroyed or demolished); the Greek term is compositionally ἀνα- (up/again) + οἰκοδομέω (to build), making the 'rebuild' sense etymologically transparent where the Hebrew requires context to specify whether initial construction or reconstruction is in view.
- בְּנָא bᵉnâʼ · H1124 · build, make
- ἀνοικοδομέω (anoikodoméō, G456) specifically denotes rebuilding (construction after prior destruction), while בְּנָא (bᵉnâʼ, H1124) broadly covers building/constructing without inherent implication of prior structure; the equivalence holds in contexts where בְּנָא (bᵉnâʼ, H1124) describes reconstruction.
