The third lot came up
on Joshua 19:10-16
Zebulun is drawn before its elder brother Issachar, the same order Jacob uses at Genesis 49:13-14. Gath-hepher is the home of Jonah son of Amittai at 2 Kings 14:25. The Bethlehem of verse 15 lies in Galilee, a different town from the Bethlehem of Judah at Micah 5:2.
This site's exposition
This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Zebulun
The summary closes Zebulun's portion. Gill notes that the tribe held towns beyond this list, and Kartah and Dimnah are given to the Levites from Zebulun at 21:35. Deuteronomy 33:18 blesses Zebulun in its travels, and Barnes ties that line to the tribe's shore on the Sea of Galilee.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun, according to their families,.... Which was allotted to it and divided, according to the number of its families: these cities with their villages; before enumerated, excepting such as only bordered on them; though indeed there were other cities which belonged to them, or might be after given them, not here mentioned, as Kartah and Dimnah, Jos 21:34.
