Footnotes
Four tribes are summoned — two southern (Binyamin, Yehudah) and two northern (Zevulun, Naftali) — representing the united nation in worship. The placement of Binyamin first as tsāʿîr ("the youngest / smallest") enacts the deep biblical pattern of divine reversal: the last becomes first (Gen. 48:19; 1 Sam. 9:21, where Sha'ul the king describes his tribe as the smallest). It is worth noting that Sha'ul of Tarsus — himself a Binyamite (Phil. 3:5) — was the one who ultimately wrestled most profoundly with Ps. 68:18 (Eph. 4:8). Rōdēm ("leading / subduing / ruling them") is grammatically unusual, possibly indicating Binyamin's tribe leading the procession despite its size — a quiet homage to the surprise of grace.
