Strong's Lexicon Binyamin: Benjamin Original Word: בִּנְיָמִין Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words בֵּן (ben, meaning "son") and יָמִין (yamin, meaning "right hand" or "south"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G958: Βενιαμίν (Beniamin) - Used in the New Testament to refer to the tribe of Benjamin, as seen in Romans 11:1 and Philippians 3:5. Usage: The name "Benjamin" means "son of the right hand" or "son of the south." In the context of the Bible, it refers to the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and the progenitor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name signifies a position of favor and strength, as the right hand is traditionally associated with power and authority. Cultural and Historical Background: Benjamin was the twelfth and youngest son of Jacob, born to his beloved wife Rachel. His birth is recorded in Genesis 35:16-18, where Rachel names him Ben-Oni ("son of my sorrow") as she dies in childbirth, but Jacob renames him Benjamin. The tribe of Benjamin played a significant role in Israel's history, providing the first king, Saul, and later aligning with the tribe of Judah during the divided kingdom period. The tribe's territory was strategically located between the northern and southern kingdoms, which often placed it at the center of political and military events.
