(biblical character) The youngest of the sons of Jacob and Rachel in the Bible.

Origin: From , from , from . Authorities differ on the meaning of the original Hebrew. Philo of Alexandria, the Samaritan Pentateuch The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs and Midrash Leḳaḥ-Ṭob understand יָמִין to mean "days" (a meaning attested in Daniel 12:13) understanding the name to mean "son of days (i.e. old age)" (compare to the direct translations into (bin yawmīn) "son of the days" and "son of the right hand"), a formula paraphrased in Genesis 40:22 where Benjamin is described as a child of Jacob's old age. Rashi in his commentary on Genesis also gives this as a possible meaning but favo. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
