Deuteronomy 33:18-19 About Zebulun he said: "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and you, Issachar, in your tents. (As God's people stand ready to enter the Promised Land. Moses extends his next farewell blessings to the last two sons of Leah. Their allotment will lie just to the west and south of the southern end of the Sea of Galilee Zebulun, a name referring to habitation and dwelling, is named first, even though he was born after his brother Issachar, to underscore the root meaning of his name, which is exalted.
He will dwell in his exalted, first-place standing and will also be blessed as their "going out" to war against their enemies. Issachar, a name meaning reward and recompense, will dwell in peace and engage in the work of his hands.
These tribes will stand in the blessing of an exalted dwelling place that is a reward to them. Though we also may stand in last place today, the Lord still grants us His favor, the reward and recompense of being His habitation and dwelling. He also exalts us over the enemy and dwells in us, blessing us in our "going out" to engage the enemy in battle and rewarding the work of our hands as He reveals Himself as our recompense.) They will summon peoples to the mountain and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;
(In the future, these tribes will call the Gentiles with whom they will interact in trade along the busy north-south, Mediterranean trade route which lay to the west of their allotment, to come to the mountain where God would place His dwelling in Jerusalem, where the temple eventually would be built and where the nations would come to worship God.
Today, the Lord blesses us to interact with and summon others to come up to the mountain of God and to worship Him.)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas, on the treasures hidden in the sand."
(The blessing over these tribes will give them profitable trading interactions with the merchants and ships along the coast of the Mediterranean. For us the Lord still blesses us with prosperity and favor in our business interactions in our work world and with the people around us with whom we engage.)
