ZEBULUN

2. Describe Zebulun’s blessing and how it was fulfilled. (Genesis 49:13) (See also box.)

² Read Genesis 49:13. Jacob indicates that Zebulun’s descendants would live by the seashore, toward the north of the Promised Land. Over 200 years later, the Zebulunites did receive a territorial inheritance that was located between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean. Moses prophesied: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out.” (Deut. 33:18) This may have been a reference to the fact that Zebulun would have easy access to commercial trade because of being located between the two seas. Whatever the case, the descendants of Zebulun had reason to be happy.

3. What can help us to be content?

³ What can we learn? We have reason to be happy, no matter where we live or what our circumstances may be. To remain happy, we must be content with what we have. (Ps. 16:6; 24:5) Sometimes it can be easier to focus on what we do not have rather than on the good things that we do enjoy. So try to see the positive in your circumstances.​—Gal. 6:4.
