SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:11
¶ Y subió la suerte de la tribu de los hijos de Benjamín por sus familias; y salió el término de su suerte entre los hijos de Judá y los hijos de José.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 18:11
Verse 11. And the lot-of Benjamin came up] On the manner of casting the lot, see on chap. xiv. 2, and Num. xxvi. 55. There were probably two urns, one of which contained the names of the seven tribes, and the other that of the seven portions. They therefore took out one name out of the first urn, and one portion out of the second, and thus the portion was adjudged to that tribe.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families , etc.] This was the first lot of the seven that came up; it was but a small lot, and therefore called “little Benjamin”, ( Psalm 68:27); but the land was very pleasant and fruitful. Josephus f410 says, this lot was very strait, because of the goodness of the soil, for it took in Jericho, and the city of Jerusalem: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph ; having Judah on the south, and Joseph on the north; this was so ordered by the providence of God, that Benjamin should lie close to Joseph, being own brothers, and the only children of Rachel, Jacob’s beloved wife; and that it should be next to Judah, with whom it was to unite, both in religious and civil affairs, and both met in and had a part of Jerusalem, the metropolis of Israel; and this lot fell exactly according to the prediction of Moses, and the order of it, who places Benjamin between Judah and Joseph, the tribe of Levi having no share in the division of the land, ( Deuteronomy 33:7,12,13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-28 - The boundaries of each portion were distinctly drawn, and the inheritance of each tribe settled. All contests and selfish claims wer prevented by the wise appointment of God, who allotted the hill and the valley, the corn and pasture, the brooks and rivers, the towns an cities. Is the lot of any servant of Christ cast in affliction an sorrow? It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good. Are we in prosperity and peace? It is from above. Be humbled when you compare the gift with your own unworthiness. Forget not Him that gave the good, an always be ready to resign it at his command __________________________________________________________________
