The Twelve Tribes of Israel

God provides for the mission He gives. Zebulun lived near the sea, becoming a tribe of trade, travel, and provision. Their blessing connected them to mission and outreach, foreshadowing the gospel going to the nations.

Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea. (Genesis 49:13)

They shall suck of the abundance of the seas. (Deuteronomy 33:19)

Go ye into all the world. (Mark 16:15)
