FOR
REAL:In
the bible, Benjamin is one of the founders of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
His mother was Rachel, who died giving birth to him. She wanted to name
him Benoni, meaning "son of sorrow," Jacob, his father, didn't want a name
with such bad connotations, so he named him Benyamin, which means either
"son of the right-hand" or "son of the south." |
