The final word is given to Rachel’s younger son. According to 1 Chr 8.40; 12.2, the tribe of Benjamin was small in numbers but mighty in battle.

Benjamin is a ravenous wolf: Benjamin is praised for his skill and stealth and is compared to the wolf as a vicious hunter. Ravenous translates a verb meaning to tear the flesh. The sense is “fierce,” “ferocious,” or “vicious.” The wolf is a dog-like animal of prey. If the wolf is unknown, something like “wild dog” may be suitable.

In the morning devouring the prey: here Benjamin is pictured as engaged in killing his enemies. He is always busy with war and taking plunder or booty from his enemies.

And at even dividing the spoil: victorious in battle he kills enemies and divides the booty or the enemy’s property among his warriors. Some translations attempt to keep the image of the fierce wolf. Here is the way Biblia Dios Habla Hoy translates:

Benjamin is a fierce wolf
who eats its victims in the morning
and in the evening divides what remains.
