1554. Benjamin | What’s in the Name? with Dr. Mario Melendez
Rachel called him Ben-Oni. Jacob renamed him Benjamin. What do these two names reveal about his story?
In this episode of What’s in the Name?, Dr. Mario Melendez explores Benjamin’s name, from “son of sorrow” to “son of the right hand,” and reflects on the themes of trouble, favor, and blessing woven throughout his family’s story.
From Benjamin’s role in Joseph’s family reunion to the stories of the Benjamites—including Ehud, King Saul, Esther, and the Apostle Paul—Mario traces a question that reaches into our own lives: How can we become a blessing to the people around us?
