“And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.”
The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. Benjamin's ten sons — though he is the youngest, the last born — produce the most names in any single son's line. The application: the youngest son of the beloved wife has the most numerous family. The reversal of expected order — Rachel's youngest with the largest family — is the covenant's characteristic pattern.
