As for the rest of the tribes
on Ezekiel 48:23-27
South of the prince's land, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun and Gad take strips in the same straight bands as the northern tribes. The order departs from Jacob's blessing and from Joshua's allotment alike, arranged by distance from the sanctuary. Gad sets up the border the next verse describes.
This site's exposition
Issachar will have one portion
Issachar's old portion was the Valley of Jezreel, assigned in Joshua 19:17 to 23. Here it lies south of the city. Genesis 49:14 to 15 pictures Issachar as a strong donkey bearing burdens.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Vers. 23 seqq.) And the rest of the tribes, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Benjamin. And against the boundary of Benjamin, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Simeon. And along the boundary of Simeon, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Issachar. And along the boundary of Issachar, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Zebulun. And along the boundary of Zebulun, from the eastern boundary to the sea, belong to Gad.
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion. Next, closely adjoining to Simeon's inheritance, and in the same direction, shall be Issachar's; such Christians as shall have the "rewards" of grace for their services and sufferings in times of tribulation.
