#hanukkah (חֲנֻכָּה‎ dedication) Day 3 Quote: "Therefore, [the Jews] chose rather to die so that they might not be defiled with unclean food, and that they might not profane the Holy Covenant; so then they died. And there was very great wrath upon Israel" (1 Maccabees 1:63-64).

The lot of the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to its clans came up, and the territory allotted to it fell between the people of Judah and the people of Joseph.
Joshua 18:11

Benjamin was used as a pawn in the rivalry between Joseph and Judah in Genesis (and ultimately protected by both of them), and centuries later, his descendants were again placed between their two more powerful brothers.

There are several parallels between Jacob's flight from Laban and Joseph's brothers' flight from Egypt:

>Laban accused Jacob of returning evil for good. Joseph said the same to his brothers.
>Tradition says Laban used his idols for divination. Joseph said the same of his cup.
>Jacob said whoever took Laban's idols would die. Joseph's brothers said the same about his "stolen" cup.
>The search for the stolen items in both cases appears to have been oldest to youngest.
