במדבר, פרק י״ג, פסוק ט׳

The man chosen to represent the tribe of Benjamin is Palti, the son of Raphu. The written record of the father's name carries a unique distinction, as it is spelled with a silent letter Aleph at its end. According to ancient tradition, this specific spelling is an extreme rarity, serving as one of only twelve instances in the entire Bible where a word concludes with a silent Aleph [מנחת שי].
