As the division of the land continued for the remaining Israelites, the very first lot drawn determined the inheritance for the tribe of Benjamin [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The initial focus rests on establishing the general location and outer borders of their territory. This broad overview serves as a practical introduction before detailing the specific cities that would eventually fall to the tribe [אברבנאל].
Once the overall boundaries were established, the land was divided internally. This distribution was carefully organized to provide for the different families that made up the tribe [מצודת דוד]. The specific placement of this territory was highly precise, as the area assigned to Benjamin by the lottery fit exactly within the available land located directly between the established borders of Judah and Joseph [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
