:''For other meanings, see Zebulun (disambiguation).''
'Zebulun' (also 'Zabulon' and 'Zaboules',[1] Hebrew: זְבֻלוּן or זְבוּלֻן or זְבוּלוּן, Tiberian Hebrew , Standard Hebrew , commonly זבולון ''Zvulun'' in Israel) was, according to the Books of Genesis and Numbers,[2][3] the sixth son of Jacob and Leah, and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Zebulun. Some Biblical scholars believe this to be a postdiction, an eponymous metaphor providing an aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation.[4] With Leah as a matriarch, Biblical scholars believe the tribe to have been regarded by the text's authors as a part of the original Israelite confederation.[5]
The text of the Torah gives two different etymologies for the name ''Zebulun'', which textual scholars attribute to different sources - one to the Yahwist and the other to the Elohist;[6] the first being that it derives from ''zebed'', the word for ''gift'', in reference to Leah's view that her gaining of six sons was a ''gift'' from God; the second being that it derives from ''yizbeleni'', meaning ''honour'', in reference to Leah's hope that Jacob would give her honour now that she had given birth to six sons. In Deuteronomy, however an allusion is made to a third potential etymology[7] - that it may be connected with ''zibhe'', literally meaning ''sacrifice'', in reference to commercial activities of the tribe of Zebulun[8] - a commercial agreement made at Mount Tabor between the tribe of Zebulun and a group of non-Israelites was referred to as ''zibhe-tzedek'', literally meaning ''sacrifice to justice'' or ''sacrifice to Tzedek''.[9]
The Torah states that Zebulun had three sons - Sered, Elon, and Jahleel - each the eponymous founder of a clan. Beyond this, there is little other reference to Zebulun.
