Over the division
This phrase indicates a position of leadership and responsibility. In the context of the Israelite camp, each tribe was organized into divisions, and a leader was appointed over each. The Hebrew root for "division" is "deghel," which can also mean a standard or banner. This suggests a sense of order and identity within the tribe, as each division would rally under its own banner. Historically, this organization was crucial for maintaining order during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness.

of the tribe of Zebulun
Zebulun was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's tenth son, Zebulun. The tribe of Zebulun was known for its maritime activities and trade, as indicated in Genesis 49:13, where Jacob prophesies that Zebulun "will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships." This historical context highlights the tribe's role in commerce and its strategic importance among the tribes of Israel.

was Eliab
Eliab, whose name means "God is Father," was a leader chosen to oversee the tribe of Zebulun. His leadership role signifies the importance of divine appointment and guidance in the governance of the Israelite community. The name Eliab reflects a deep connection to God, emphasizing the belief that leadership should be rooted in a relationship with the divine.

son of Helon
Helon, meaning "strong" or "valiant," provides insight into the heritage and character expected of Eliab. In the biblical context, lineage was significant, as it often indicated the qualities and reputation of a leader. The mention of Helon underscores the importance of family legacy and the transmission of values and strength from one generation to the next.
