Issachar--Its ancient portion had been on the plain of Esdraelon. Compared (Ge 49:14) to "a strong ass crouching between two burdens," that is, tribute and tillage; never meddling with wars except in self-defense.
This site's exposition
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
Zebulun will have one portion
Zebulun lies next to Issachar, the brothers Moses blessed together in Deuteronomy 33:18 to 19. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown recall Issachar's ancient home on the plain of Esdraelon, beside Zebulun's old territory in Joshua 19:10 to 16. The two neighbors keep company in the new order.
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 Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion. In like manner, next to Issachar's inheritance, and bordering on it, shall be Zebulun's; who shall be no more a haven for ships, having a different situation and allotment; and may describe such Christians as dwell in Christ, and he in them.
