The tribe of Benjamin in the Promised Land:

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el, and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, and Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.-Joshua 18:21-28***The Israelites are the descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his wives Leah and Rachel and maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, and the 12 sons born to Jacob, his wives and maidservants. The tribe of Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph became 2 tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, after Jacob proclaimed Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim to be his own sons. Canaan was a land of milk and honey inhabited by idol worshipers. The Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Sometime after Jacob died in Egypt and was buried in Canaan, and Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Aaron and his brother Moses were born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness, according to the commands of the Lord God. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor. Shortly thereafter, the Lord God told Moses that Eleazar the priest and Joshua, Moses' successor, were to assign portions of the Promised Land to each tribe, and they were to chose a leader from each tribe to assist them. Larger tribes were to be given larger land portions and smaller tribes were to be given smaller portions, and the location of each tribe's land was to be determined by the casting of lots. After 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. Jericho was the 1st city that the Israelites attacked and defeated in the Promised Land. Jericho was within the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. The tribe of Levi, the birth tribe of the priests and their assistants, received no land inheritance, according to the command of the Lord God. The Lord God told the priests and all the Levites that he was their inheritance. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land,  Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 8:1-10:19, Numbers 3:1-4:49, 8:1-26, 18:1-32, 20:1-29, 26:52-65, 27:12-23, 33:50-35:34, Deuteronomy 18:1-22, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Proverbs 16:33, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
