And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Nevertheless the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep to himself the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Then the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
However we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that gives a wife to Benjamin.
