Nohah the fourth
The name "Nohah" is derived from the Hebrew root "נוח" (nuach), which means "rest" or "quiet." This name may suggest a character or a time of peace and tranquility, reflecting a period in the lineage of Benjamin where there was a sense of stability or rest. In the broader biblical narrative, the tribe of Benjamin often found itself in tumultuous situations, yet the mention of "Nohah" could symbolize a divine promise of rest amidst the chaos. Historically, the tribe of Benjamin was small but significant, often caught between larger tribes and nations. The placement of Nohah as the "fourth" son may indicate a position of balance and completion, as the number four often symbolizes universality and wholeness in biblical numerology.

and Rapha the fifth
The name "Rapha" comes from the Hebrew root "רפא" (rapha), meaning "to heal" or "to restore." This name carries a powerful connotation of healing and restoration, suggesting that Rapha's role or legacy within the tribe of Benjamin was one of bringing wholeness and recovery. The number five in biblical terms often represents grace and God's goodness. Thus, "Rapha the fifth" could symbolize a divine grace bestowed upon the tribe, a healing presence that God provided to ensure the tribe's survival and prosperity. In the historical context, the tribe of Benjamin faced many challenges, including near extinction during the events described in Judges 20. The mention of Rapha may serve as a reminder of God's restorative power and His ability to bring life and healing to His people, even in the direst circumstances.
