Exegesis
The noun perets {פֶּרֶץ | p̄e-r̄eṣ} ‘breach’ functions as the object, followed by the locative construct be-shivtei yisrael {בְּשִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-šîv-ṭê yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘among the tribes of Israel,’ specifying the locus of division. English rearranges the Hebrew SOV into SVO while preserving the causal relation with ‘because.’
Root and etymology
š-b-ṭshin–bet–tet

In context — Judges 21:15
And the people were grieved for Benjamin because the LORD had made a breach among the tribes of Israel.
