Benjamin will have one portion
The tribe of Benjamin, named after Jacob's youngest son, holds a significant place in Israel's history. The Hebrew root for "Benjamin" (בִּנְיָמִין) means "son of the right hand," symbolizing favor and strength. Historically, Benjamin was a small but influential tribe, producing notable figures like King Saul and the Apostle Paul. In the context of Ezekiel's vision, the allocation of land to Benjamin signifies restoration and inclusion in God's covenant promises. This portion represents God's faithfulness to His people, ensuring each tribe receives its inheritance, reflecting divine order and justice.

it will extend from the east side to the west side
This phrase describes the geographical boundaries of Benjamin's allotted land. The east-to-west orientation signifies completeness and balance, as it spans the full breadth of the land. In Hebrew culture, directions often carry symbolic meanings; the east is associated with beginnings and the west with endings. Thus, this allocation underscores the comprehensive nature of God's provision. Archaeologically, this reflects the historical territories of the tribes, aligning with the land's natural features. Scripturally, it echoes the promise of a restored Israel, where each tribe is securely planted in its rightful place, highlighting God's meticulous care and sovereign plan for His people.
