1.RR - Nazareth - Zobulon
The territory Zebulun was allocated was at the southern end of the Galilee, with its eastern border being the Sea of Galilee, the western border being the Mediterranean Sea, the south being bordered by the Tribe of Issachar, and the north by Asher on the western side and Naphtali on the eastern
In the ancient Song of Deborah, Zebulun are described as sending to the battle those that handle the sopher shebet. Traditionally this has been interpreted as referring to the "rod of the scribe", an object that in Assyrian monuments was a stylus of wood or metal used to inscribe clay tablets, or to write on papyrus; thus, those who wielded it would have been the associates/assistants of lawgivers.[3] Consequently, in Jewish tradition, the tribe of Zebulun was considered to have a symbiotic relationship with the tribe of Issachar, its neighbour and a tribe that traditionally was seen as having many scholars, whereby Zebulun would financially support Issachar's devotion to study and teaching of the Torah, in exchange for a share of the spiritual reward from such learning; the terms Issachar and Zebulun came to be used by Jews for anyone engaged in such a relationship. More recent Christian scholarship, as expressed for example in translations such as the Revised Standard Version, instead render the description in the Song of Deborah of the people sent to battle by Zebulun as "those who handle the marshal's staff"; in other words, Zebulun had simply sent military officers
The partnership between Issachar and Zebulun is in an ideological dispute between those who believe that conditions and trade can be made in the post-mortem wage and those who say that the wages of the next world cannot be traded (Hai Gaon).[4]
The Tomb of Zebulun is located in Sidon, Lebanon. In the past, towards the end of Iyyar, Jews from the most distant parts of the land of Israel would make a pilgrimage to this tomb
In Deuteronomy 33, however, an allusion is made to a third potential etymology: that it may be connected with zibhe, literally meaning sacrifice, about commercial activities of the tribe of Zebulun[9] – a commercial agreement made at Mount Tabor between the tribe of Zebulun and a group of non-Israelites was referred to as zibhe-tzedek, literally meaning sacrifice to justice or sacrifice to Tzedek
The Torah states that Zebulun had three sons – Sered, Elon, and Jahleel – each the eponymous founder of a clan.
They risked their lives on the battlefield with Naphtali from Judges 5's Song of Deborah and Barak: "Zebulun is a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also -- on high places of the field."
In the Druze faith, the prophet Sabalan is often identified with Zebulun. Sabalan's Tomb is located in the village Hurfeish.[10]
