Bineyamin
and Benjamin,
Proper noun denoting a personal name, Benjamin: youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. By extension, the tribe descended from him and later, the territory allocated to this tribe. The name fundamentally refers to an individual but is used metonymically for the tribal group and their allotted land. In personal and genealogical contexts, the sense is of a direct descendant; in collective or territorial contexts, it signals group or geographic identity.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1144-08
and Son-of-the-Right-Hand
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + proper masculine singular noun (personal/tribal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a compound of בֵּן (son) and יָמִין (right hand/south), so rendering it as "Son-of-the-Right-Hand" preserves its etymological meaning. The prefixed וּ is the conjunction "and," which is retained in the rendering. |
