Benjamin

Painting by [[Arthur Pond]] (1745) after [[Francisco de Zurbarán]]'s portrait from the series (''[[Jacob and His Twelve Sons]]'') {{circa|1640|1645}} Benjamin (}} ''Bīnyāmīn''; "Son of (the) right") was the last of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (i.e., Jacob's thirteenth child and twelfth and youngest son) in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. He was also the progenitor of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin. Unlike Rachel's first son, Joseph, Benjamin was born in Canaan according to biblical narrative.

In the Samaritan Pentateuch, Benjamin's name appears as "" (Samaritan Hebrew: , "son of days"). In the Quran, Benjamin is referred to as a righteous young child, who remained with Jacob when the older brothers plotted against Joseph. Later rabbinic traditions name him as one of four ancient Israelites who died without sin, the other three being Chileab, Jesse and Amram. Provided by Wikipedia
