Nohah the fourth
Nohah is listed as the fourth son of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name Nohah means "rest" or "quiet," which may reflect a desired state of peace or stability within the tribe. The tribe of Benjamin held a significant position among the tribes of Israel, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel. The mention of Nohah, though brief, contributes to the genealogical record that establishes the lineage and heritage of the Benjamites. This lineage is crucial for understanding the historical and tribal dynamics of Israel, as well as the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. The order of birth may also imply a certain hierarchy or role within the family structure, though specific details about Nohah's life and contributions are not provided in the biblical text.

Rapha the fifth
Rapha is noted as the fifth son of Benjamin. The name Rapha can mean "healed" or "giant," which might suggest a person of notable stature or strength, though the text does not elaborate on his life or deeds. The genealogical listing serves to preserve the family line and ensure the continuity of the tribe's history. In the broader biblical narrative, genealogies often highlight the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and fulfilling His covenant promises. The tribe of Benjamin, despite its small size, played a pivotal role in Israel's history, including the establishment of Jerusalem as the capital under King David, who was closely allied with the Benjamites. The mention of Rapha, like Nohah, underscores the importance of each family member in the unfolding story of God's people.
