Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:18

Theological / Devotional

Zebulun. Zebulun is here pictured as a maritime people. This is also reflected in the prophecy of Jacob (see Genesis 49:13). Many distinguished warriors arose from this tribe (see Judges 5:18; 1 Chronicles 12:33).

Zebulun and Issachar were associated with Judah in the leading division in the wilderness (see Numbers 2:5-7). As the last two sons of Leah, Moses here treats them together. Zebulun was the younger of the two, but is placed first, in harmony with Genesis 49:13.
