The allocation of land to Zebulun reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to the patriarchs regarding the inheritance of the Promised Land. This portion signifies the restoration and reestablishment of the tribes in the land, as prophesied in Ezekiel's vision of the new division of the land. The tribe of Zebulun is historically associated with maritime trade and commerce, as suggested in <a href="/genesis/49-13.htm">Genesis 49:13</a>, which speaks of Zebulun dwelling by the seashore.<p><b>bordering the territory of Issachar</b><br>Issachar, another son of Jacob and Leah, was known for its agricultural prosperity and wisdom, as indicated in <a href="/genesis/49-14.htm">Genesis 49:14-15</a>. The proximity of Zebulun to Issachar in this allocation may symbolize cooperation and mutual support between the tribes, reflecting the unity and harmony expected in the restored Israel. This arrangement also mirrors the historical settlement patterns during the initial conquest of Canaan, as described in the Book of Joshua.<p><b>from east to west</b><br>The phrase "from east to west" indicates the orientation and extent of the tribal allotment, suggesting a horizontal division across the land. This east-west orientation is consistent with the layout of the land divisions in Ezekiel's vision, emphasizing order and symmetry in the distribution of the land. It also reflects the comprehensive nature of God's plan for His people, encompassing all directions and ensuring that each tribe receives its rightful inheritance. This phrase underscores the fulfillment of God's covenant promises and the establishment of a new order in the eschatological vision of Israel's future.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/issachar.htm">Issachar</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's son Issachar.
