The fourth lot came out
on Joshua 19:17-23
Issachar is given by its towns rather than a traced border, because the tribe sits enclosed between portions already described. Jezreel at verse 18 becomes the ground of Naboth's vineyard at 1 Kings 21:1. Shunem is where the woman who kept a room for Elisha lived at 2 Kings 4:8.
This site's exposition
This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Issachar
Issachar's portion is summed up here. Jacob's blessing at Genesis 49:15 has Issachar seeing that its land was pleasant and bending its shoulder to labor. Its men in David's day understood the times, according to 1 Chronicles 12:32.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar,.... Which fell to them by lot, as before described: according to their families; was divided among them, according to the number of them: the cities and their villages; the cities before enumerated, and the villages adjacent to them.
