Zebulun

Common card · No. 293048

Zebulun (Hebrew: זְבֻלוּן/זְבוּלֻן/זְבוּלוּן, Modern: Zəvūlūn, Tiberian: Zăḇūlūn; also Zebulon, Zabulon, or Zaboules in Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus) was, according to the Books of Genesis and Numbers, Jacob's tenth son, the last of the six sons of Jacob and Leah, and the founder of the Israelite tribe of Zebulun. With Leah as a matriarch, biblical scholars believe the tribe to have been regarded by the text's authors as a part of the original Israelite confederation. The Tomb of Zebulun is located in Sidon, Lebanon. In the past, towards the end of Iyyar, Jews from the most distant parts of the land of Israel would make a pilgrimage to this tomb.
