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
Rufinus of Aquileia
AD 411
“At evening he will divide the food.” The evening is that final time when Paul is converted. Thus we also call evening the time of our conversion in which we are now. Then he will divide the food, then he understands that in the law it is necessary to divide the letter from the spirit and will know that “the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Since after being enlightened by the grace of the Lord, Paul begins to divide and separate in the law the spiritual realities from the corporeal ones, he is said to divide the food at evening. In fact, although meditating all day long on the law, he had not done that before.
