'''Benjamin''' ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: {{Hebrew|בִּנְיָמִין}}; - standard transliteration '''''Binyamin''''') is an [[Old Testament]] figure. The name literally translates to "son of right," generally taken to mean "son of my right hand," the "right" direction having the connotation of strength or desirability. He was the youngest son of [[Jacob]] and [[Rachel]] (Genesis 35:18). The Orthodox Church remembers the Righteous Benjamin on the [[Sunday of the Forefathers]].
