Parallel

Genesis 35:18

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing—for she died—that she called his name Ben (note: That is, The son of my sorrow.)-oni; but his father called him Benjamin (note: That is, The son of the right hand.).
And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni (note: Ben-oni could mean son of my sorrow or son of my strength.). But his father called him Benjamin (note: Benjamin means son of my right hand.).
