And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel.
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
