    All four occurrences use the genitive singular masculine form in a clause of tribal affiliation. In Acts 13:21 the APB renders Saul as “a man from the tribe of Benjamin”; Philippians 3:5 and Romans 11:1 similarly place the speaker within that tribe, while Revelation 7:8 names it in the list of tribes from which people “were sealed.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Benjamin” in each verse, chiefly within “tribe of Benjamin”; in Revelation 7:8 it occurs in a list followed by “were sealed.” The verse is read as a whole.
