OU Staff: Yaakov, in his berachah to Zevulun (Bereshit 49:13), foresaw a time that the Tribe of Zevulun would be very active in seafaring commerce: “Zevulun shall settle by seashores. He shall be at the ship’s harbor, and his last border will reach Zidon.”
OU Staff: The inheritance of the Tribe of Zevulun was adjacent to and north of the Tribe of Yissachar, with a coastline on the Mediterranean, that allowed it to engage in sea commerce.
