The sons of Zebulun
This phrase introduces the descendants of Zebulun, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Zebulun was the sixth son of Leah, Jacob's first wife. The name "Zebulun" is derived from the Hebrew root "zabal," meaning "to dwell" or "to honor." This reflects Leah's hope that her husband would honor her by dwelling with her more intimately. Zebulun's descendants would form one of the tribes of Israel, known for their maritime prowess and trade, as suggested by Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:13, which speaks of Zebulun living by the seashore.

Sered
The name "Sered" is of uncertain origin, but it may be related to the Hebrew root "srd," which can mean "to tremble" or "to be afraid." This could imply a characteristic or a significant event associated with Sered or his descendants. In the broader biblical narrative, names often carry prophetic or descriptive significance, reflecting the character or destiny of the individual or their lineage.

Elon
The name "Elon" means "oak" or "terebinth" in Hebrew, symbolizing strength, endurance, and stability. Oaks were significant in ancient Near Eastern cultures, often associated with sacred sites and places of worship. The name may suggest that Elon or his descendants were known for their strength or played a significant role in the community, much like the sturdy and enduring oak tree.

Jahleel
The name "Jahleel" means "God waits" or "God hopes" in Hebrew. This name reflects a deep spiritual truth about the nature of God and His relationship with His people. It suggests a sense of divine patience and expectation, highlighting the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, waiting for them to fulfill their potential and purpose according to His divine plan.

(14) Zebulun has three sons: Numbers 26:26.
