Benjamin is ravenous as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
All Commentaries on Genesis 49:27 Go To Genesis 49
Hippolytus of Rome
AD 235
This thoroughly suits Paul, who was of the tribe of Benjamin. For when he was young, he was a ravening wolf; but when he believed, he “apportioned” food. This also is shown us by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the tribe of Benjamin is among the first persecutors, which is the sense of “in the morning.” For Saul, who was of the tribe of Benjamin, persecuted David, who was appointed to be a type of the Lord.
