benjamin

     

Benjamin (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין, Stanard Binyamin Tiberian Binyāmîn) was, according to the Book of Genesis, a son of Jacob, the second (and final) son of Rachel, and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin; in the Biblical account, unlike Rachel's first son - Joseph, the father of Ephraim and Manasseh - Benjamin was born after Jacob and Rachel arrived in Canaan. However some Biblical scholars view these details as postdiction, an eponymous metaphor providing an etiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation.
