Genesis 35:18

וַ יְהִי בְּ צֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה וַ תִּקְרָא שְׁמֹו בֶּן־אֹונִי וְ אָבִיו קָרָא לֹו בִנְיָמִין

And he is becoming in the going out of her breath, for she has died, and she is calling-out his name Builder of My Sorrow,1093 and his father called-out to-himself Builder-of-the-right.1094

Strong’s #1144, Bin-yamin. Builder of the Right. “Hand” yad (#3028) is not indicated. Genesis 48:17 shows us with the text “hand of his right” that hand is not inherently a part of the word. Yamin (Right) is also used of the eye, thigh, etc. elsewhere.
