Bineyamin
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 H1144-12
Son of the Right Hand
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; compound personal name functioning as an individual, tribal, or territorial designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name is a compound of בֵּן (son) and יָמִין (right hand/right side, south), so rendering it as "Son of the Right Hand" preserves the full root meaning embedded in the name rather than substituting the later conventional form. |
