The majesty of God6. The blessings of the twelve tribes 26. The excellence of Israel About Benjamin he said This phrase introduces the blessing specifically directed to the tribe of Benjamin.

May the beloved of the LORD rest secure in Him God shields him all day long and the one the LORD loves rests between His shoulders "Unto Benjamin he said. Beloved of Jehovah! He (Jehovah) will dwell in security upon him, Covering him over all the day. And between his shoulders (mountain slopes) He hath taken up His abode." Verse 12. - Benjamin, the beloved of his father, is also the beloved of the Lord, and would be cared for and protected by him. Shall dwell in safety by him; shall dwell securely upon him, i.e. resting on him. Shall cover him. The word rendered "cover" (חַפַפ) occurs only here; construed with עַל, upon, it conveys the idea of sheltering: he continually is sheltering him. And he shall dwell between his shoulders. "To be between the shoulders" is to be carried on the back (cf. 1 Samuel 17:6); and as a father might thus bear his child, so should Benjamin be borne of the Lord. There can be no doubt that Benjamin is the subject of this clause; to understand it of Jehovah dwelling on the shoulders of Benjamin, in the sense of having the temple, the place of his rest, within the territory of Benjamin, is too violent and far-fetched an interpretation to be admitted. In the change of subject in the three clauses of this verse, there is nothing strange, since such a change repeatedly occurs, and is found even in prose, as e.g., 2 Samuel 11:13. "To dwell upon God, and between his shoulders, means as much as to lean upon him; the similitude being taken from fathers who carry their sons while yet small and tender" (Calvin).Parallel Commentaries ...
