Berean Strong's Lexicon yemini: Benjamite, of the tribe of Benjamin Original Word: יְמִינִי Word Origin: Derived from יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "yemini," but related concepts can be found in references to the tribe of Benjamin in the New Testament, such as in Philippians 3:5, where Paul refers to himself as "of the tribe of Benjamin." Usage: The term "yemini" is used to denote someone from the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Benjamin was known for its warriors and played a significant role in Israel's history. The term can also imply being right-handed, as "yamin" means "right hand." Cultural and Historical Background: The tribe of Benjamin was the smallest of the tribes of Israel, descended from Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. Despite its size, the tribe was known for its fierce warriors and archers. The Benjamites were involved in several key events in Israel's history, including the civil war described in Judges 20 and the establishment of the monarchy under King Saul, who was a Benjamite.
