Benjamin was the son of Jacob and Rachel and father of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Originally named “Ben-oni”, or "son of my affliction" by his mother as she lay dying in labour, his name was later changed to Benjamin, meaning "son of my right hand". Next to Joseph, he was his favourite son. Benjamin the twelfth son of Jacob and born after Joseph was sold into slavery. After the family was invited to Egypt, Joseph sabatoged Benjamin's sack by putting a silver cup in it and accusing the brothers of stealing. Joseph thought Benjamin would remain in Egypt but Judah offered to take his place, saying that his father would be devastated if Benjamin did not return. Jacob later blesses Benjamin while on his deathbed, calling Benjamin "a vicious wolf, devouring the prey in the morning, and dividing the spoil at night". And afterwards, Mary Magdalene was indeed from this tribe, signifying that she was a Royal Blood. The Dossier Secret maintains that it could also be the Franks and the Merovingians.
