Rabbi Samuel ben Naḥman taught that Benjamin's son's names, as listed in , reflected Benjamin's loss of Joseph. The name Bela signified that Benjamin's brother was swallowed up ("nit-bala") from him; Becher signified that he was a firstborn ("bechor"); Ashbel signified that he was taken away captive ("nishbah"); Gera signified that he became a stranger ("ger") in a strange country; Naaman signified that his actions were seemly ("na'im") and pleasant ("ne'im-im"); Ehi signified that he indeed was "my brother" ("ahi"); Rosh signified that he was Benjamin's superior ("rosh"); Muppim signified that he was exceedingly attractive ("yafeh ‘ad me'od") in all matters; and Huppim signified that Benjamin did not see his marriage-canopy ("huppah") and he did not see Benjamin's; and Ard signified that he was like a rose-bloom ("ward").
