Strong's Lexicon Yamini: Benjamite; of the right hand; right-handed Original Word: יְמִינִי Word Origin: Derived from יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yamini," the concept of being from the tribe of Benjamin is reflected in the Greek term Βενιαμίν (Beniamin), Strong's Greek 958. Usage: The term "Yamini" is primarily used to denote someone from the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name Benjamin itself means "son of the right hand," which is reflected in the term "Yamini." It can also imply someone who is right-handed, symbolizing strength and favor, as the right hand was traditionally associated with power and authority in ancient cultures. Cultural and Historical Background: The tribe of Benjamin was one of the smaller tribes of Israel, yet it played a significant role in the history of the nation. The Benjamites were known for their skill in battle, particularly their ability to use both hands effectively, as noted in Judges 20:16. The tribe's territory was strategically located between the northern and southern kingdoms, which often placed them at the center of political and military conflicts. The first king of Israel, Saul, was a Benjamite, highlighting the tribe's importance in Israel's early monarchy.
