What happensPermalink
At a convocation of all Israel, Joshua sends out three men from each tribe to survey the remaining land and divide it in seven portions. Joshua allocates the first portion to Benjamin.
Why it mattersPermalink
The convocation is at Shiloh, the first permanent location for the tabernacle. Benjamin gets land between the large tribes to the north and the dominant tribe of Judah to the south.
Key versePermalink
The lot of the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to its clans came up, and the territory allotted to it fell between the people of Judah and the people of Joseph.
