Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Zebulun
Pronunciation: zev-oo-LOON
Phonetic Spelling: (zeb-oo-loon')
Definition: Zebulun
Meaning: Zebulon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זבל (zaval), meaning "to dwell" or "to honor."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2194: Ζαβουλών (Zabulon) - The Greek form of Zebulun, used in the New Testament, particularly in the genealogies and prophecies concerning Jesus (e.g., Matthew 4:13).

Usage: Zebulun is the name of the sixth son of Jacob and Leah, and it also refers to the tribe that descended from him. The name is often associated with dwelling or habitation, reflecting Leah's hope that her husband would honor her by dwelling with her (Genesis 30:20).

Cultural and Historical Background: Zebulun was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and its territory was located in the northern part of the Promised Land, bordered by the tribes of Asher, Naphtali, and Issachar. The tribe played a significant role in Israel's history, particularly during the period of the Judges and the united monarchy. Zebulun's location near the sea and trade routes contributed to its economic prosperity and cultural interactions with neighboring peoples.
