In this Eighth episode of Verse Per Verse, Amichai explore Genesis, chapter 35, Verse 18, and the portion of Vayishlach.
Amichai comments on the importance of names, as there are two name changes in this torah portion, Bethlehem to Efrat, and more importantly, Benoni to Binyamin.
Amichai focuses on the multiple translations of both the old and the new name for Jacob’s youngest son, and tries to better understand what the names mean, and why the changes were made.
