Numbers 34
1. The borders of the land
16. The names of the men who shall divide the land














from the tribe of the Zebulun
The tribe of Zebulun, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, is named after the sixth son of Jacob and Leah. The name "Zebulun" is believed to derive from the Hebrew root "zabal," meaning "to dwell" or "to honor." Historically, Zebulun's territory was located in the northern part of Israel, near the Sea of Galilee. This region was known for its trade routes and access to the sea, fulfilling Jacob's blessing that Zebulun would "dwell by the seashore" (Genesis 49:13). The tribe's inclusion in the land allotment process signifies its integral role in the nation of Israel and God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to the patriarchs.

a leader
The Hebrew word for "leader" here is "nasi," which denotes a prince, chief, or captain. In the context of Numbers, a "nasi" was a person of authority and responsibility, chosen to represent their tribe in matters of governance and decision-making. This role was crucial during the division of the Promised Land, as leaders were tasked with ensuring fair and equitable distribution according to God's commands. The appointment of leaders underscores the importance of godly leadership and the need for individuals who are both spiritually and morally upright to guide the people.

Elizaphan son of Parnach
The name "Elizaphan" means "God has protected" or "God is my treasure," reflecting a deep trust in divine providence. The mention of his father, "Parnach," whose name means "delicate" or "tender," provides a genealogical link that was significant in establishing one's identity and authority within the tribal structure. Elizaphan's role as a leader from Zebulun highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through generations. It also serves as a reminder of the personal relationship between God and His people, where each name and lineage is known and valued by the Creator.
