Zebulun. The territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun under Joshua may be ascertained from the boundaries and towns mentioned in Joshua 19:10-16. At that time it neither reached to the Mediterranean nor touched directly upon Zidon. It lay between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean, near to both, but separated from the former by Naphtali and from the latter by Asher. This prophecy may have found its fulfillment, however, at some later time. The remarkable fulfillment of all Jacob’s prophetic utterances that can be checked excludes the possibility that this one should have remained unfulfilled, though the Bible is silent on the point.
