Description

This short article deals with why Ya'akov changed the name that Rachel chose for Binyamin when she died in his childbirth. Similarly, it deals with the special "new" command of "Pru U'rvu" that Ya'akov receives upon his own name-change, and return to Eretz Yisrael, to have "Bnei Yisrael", and not just "Bnei Ya'akov"!. Here's also a new explanation why Yehoshua is called BIN-Nun, and not BEN-Nun, like everyone else (aside from Binyamin!).
