Genesis 35:18 As Rachel's soul flies away to death, she sees her newborn. [With her final breath,] she calls out, โ€œHis name is โ€˜Ben-Oni {Son-Of-My-Sorrow}.โ€ But [the baby's] father [Israel] says, โ€œ[No,] his name is โ€˜Benjamin {Son-of-my-Strength}.โ€™โ€ [Jacob lays baby Benjamin on Rachel's breast, ๐Ÿ˜‡. Jacob lifts Rachel's hands, wraps them around baby Benjamin. Rachel's hands fall to her sides. Tears streams from Jacob's eyes as he lifts the baby in the air in front of the gathered tribe. Jacob shouts, โ€œSon-Of-My-Strength!โ€ The tribe cheer. Jacob hands the baby to Leah {Weary}. She pulls out her breast. Baby Benjamin's lips pucker to nurse from her milk.]
The word for โ€˜sorrowโ€™ can also mean โ€˜strength,โ€™ so Jacob is only making a minor interpretive change to Benjamin's name.
