Tribe of Benjamin
Benjamin was the youngest of the twelve sons of Jacob whose mother was Rachel. He was Joseph’s brother, and like his brother, played an important role in the history of the Nation of Israel. Jacob gave him this blessing, ”Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, devouring the prey in the morning, and dividing the spoil at night.” The symbol of Benjamin was a wolf. The tribe of Benjamin fulfilled Jacob’s prophesy by becoming extremely killed warriors, being skilled archers and slingers, said to be able to short at a hair and never miss.
Their lands were situated in the middle of the other Tribes and close to Jerusalem, which was good for both agriculture and trade.
Descendants of Benjamin included King Saul, the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther and the Apostle Paul (Rabbi Sha’ul), who each demonstrate the inherent strength of the Tribe of Benjamin.
