Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for Zebulon is Strong's G2194, Ζαβουλών (Zabulon), which appears in the New Testament in references to the land of Zebulon, such as in Matthew 4:13 and Revelation 7:8. Usage: Zebulon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a tribe. It is the name of the tenth son of Jacob and the sixth son of Leah, as well as the tribe that descended from him. Context: • Zebulon as a Person: Zebulon was the tenth son of Jacob and Leah, born in Paddan Aram. His birth is recorded in Genesis 30:19-20, where Leah expresses her hope that her husband will honor her for bearing him six sons. Zebulon is one of the twelve patriarchs of Israel, and his descendants formed one of the tribes of Israel. • Tribe of Zebulon: The tribe of Zebulon settled in the northern part of Canaan, with its territory described in Joshua 19:10-16. The land allotted to Zebulon was located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Galilee, making it strategically significant for trade and commerce. The tribe is noted for its valor and participation in various battles, including those led by Deborah and Barak against Sisera (Judges 4:6, 10; 5:18). • Prophetic Blessings: Jacob's blessing of Zebulon in Genesis 49:13 highlights the tribe's future prosperity and maritime activities: "Zebulon shall dwell by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border shall extend toward Sidon." Similarly, Moses' blessing in Deuteronomy 33:18-19 emphasizes Zebulon's joy and success in trade and worship. • Historical Significance: Throughout Israel's history, the tribe of Zebulon played a significant role in the nation's military and economic endeavors. They were known for their loyalty and bravery, as seen in their support of King David (1 Chronicles 12:33, 40) and their participation in the battle against the Midianites (Judges 6:35).
