Genesis 49:13
“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.”
“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.”
Zebulun's name means “Exalted." Zebulun descended from Jacob. Born born to Leah. Called Zebulun because Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons”(genesis 30:20) Zebulun means “dwelling” or “honor”.
This represents in us, the ability to manage finances with peace and generosity, and to teach others to do the same. Sharpening your Zebulun begins with embracing the knowledge that God promises to give us power to obtain wealth.
How you and I handle our finances is something that God cares about and wants to perfect in us as well. We must allow patience to have her perfect work and way in our finances. As we submit our finances to the Lord and allow Christ to tell us how to handle our finances we mature (perfect).
The tribe was the fourth largest tribes. This tribe was one of the many tribes that had trouble getting rid of the native population in the land of Canaan. Though Judges 1:30 does record that they eventually succeeded in conscripting the native inhabitants to force labor, which is not the same thing.
The exact boundaries are unclear because as where this passage in Joshua does a good job of laying it all out. We are not sure where all these places are. We have educated guesses but the sands of time and in many cases the literal sand has devoured the land markers. The sites of Kattath, Nahalal, Idalah, an d Eth kazin not only are hard to pronounce but they are unknown at this time.
In the old testament the area does not play a large role in wider biblical history. Judges 4:4-10 records that troops from Zebulun fought under Deborah and Barak agains Sisera the commander. Jonah was a a Zebulunite from Gath Hepher (2 Kings 14:25) So there is that. Jonah is a famous prophet especially today. Most people know the story of Jonah and the great fish.

ACTION STEP: Allow God to be the Lord of your finances. The first thing to do is tithe 10% of your income off the gross. This tells God, I want to be in covenant with you and I want to honor You for what you have given me. I trust that when I am in covenant with You that You will honor Your promises to me. You will rebuke the devourer for my sake. You will protect me. Check out all the scriptures regarding the tithe. Zebulun’s history reminds us that God is always present when we return to HIm. No matter how battered or bruised we may be or how ashamed we may feel about past transgressions, God can still use us, and use us He does!
