Zebulun, son of Jacob


Zebulun (Hebrew: זְבוּלוּן; Modern: Zevulun; Tiberian: Zəḇūlūn) is the tenth son of Jacob (latter named by Hashem as Israel), with Leah. He is also the father of the Ancient Israelite Tribe of Zebulun and of the Zebulunites.

And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. And Leah said, Elohim 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.
Genesis 30:19-20

The Prophetic Blessing of Jacob prior to his death:

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. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 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.
Genesis 49:1-2, 13
