“Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.”
Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder. The blessing of Benjamin is the blessing of the fierce and effective warrior — the tribe from which Saul, the first king of Israel, will come (1 Samuel 9:1-2), and the apostle Paul (Philippians 3:5). The application: the fierce wolflike quality of Benjamin's tribe is honored as the particular covenant gift of the youngest son of the beloved wife.
