Zebulun (Hebrew: זְבוּלוּן, Modern Zevulun Tiberian Zəḇūlūn) is the tenth son of Jacob (latter named by God as Israel) with Leah. He is also the father of the Israelite Tribe of Zebulun and the Zebulunites.
The name Zebulun means "Gifts."
Genesis 30:19-20
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. 20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
The prophetic blessing of Jacob to Naphtali, prior to his death:
Genesis 49:1-2
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Genesis 49:13
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
The Tribe of Zebulun
The Tribe of Zebulun (Hebrew: שֵׁבֶט זְבוּלוּן, Modern Shevet Zevulun Tiberian Šḗḇeṭ Zəḇūlūn) is one of the Tribes of Israel.
Joshua 19:10-16
10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: 11 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam; 12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, 13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah; 14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel: 15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
