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."
