Historical figure from The Holy Bible / Hebrew Torah, Benjamin (Binyamin, Benjamim) was the last-born of Jacob's thirteen children (12 sons, 1 daughter), and the second and last son of Rachel in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. He was the progenitor of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin. In the Hebrew Bible unlike Rachel's first son, Joseph, Benjamin was born in Canaan. ... 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.
