Shofetim 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:10

And we will take ten men of an hundred, throughout all the
tribes of Israel
Excepting that of Benjamin which was not with them, not any of them:

and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand;
in all 40,000, out of the 400,000:

to fetch victual for the people;
ten men were to provide food for ninety, and one hundred men for nine hundred, and 1000 men for 9000, in all 40,000, for 360,000; these were either to go to their own tribes and habitations, or to the towns and cities adjacent, to procure food for this large army; for they came from their homes without any provision, not knowing that the affair would keep them long; but perceiving that it would require time before it could be determined, they judged it the wisest method for some to be appointed to take care of provision for the army, that it might not be scattered about on that account, but pursue the war with vigour till satisfaction was obtained:

that they might do, when they came to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to
all the folly that they have wrought in Israel;
punish with death the delinquents, and chastise the inhabitants, and especially the magistrates, for their connivance at such wicked persons among them, and negligence of doing their duty.

Shofetim 20:10 In-Context

8 And kol haAm arose as ish echad, saying, We will not any of us go to his ohel, neither will we any of us return into his bais.

9 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Giv’ah; we will go up bigoral (by lot) against it;

10 And we will take ten anashim of a hundred throughout kol Shivtei Yisroel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to supply provisions for the troops, that they may do, when they come to Giv’ah of Binyamin, according to all the nevalah that they have wrought in Yisroel.

11 So kol ish Yisroel were gathered against the Ir, k’ish echad chaverim (comrades as one man, united as one).

12 And the Shivtei Yisroel sent anashim through all the shivtei Binyamin, saying, What ra’ah is this that is done among you?
