Joshua 19:10 Summary

[This verse describes the border of the tribe of Zebulun's inheritance, which stretched as far as Sarid, as part of God's promise to give them the land, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:8 and Joshua 1:6. The Israelites trusted in God's sovereignty and provision as they divided the land, and we can learn from their example. Just like the Israelites, we can trust in God's promises and provision for our lives, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28. By trusting in God, we can find peace and guidance, just like the Israelites did when they divided the land.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the tribe of Zebulun in the Bible?

The tribe of Zebulun is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and their inheritance is described in Joshua 19:10, where their border stretches as far as Sarid, as part of God's promise to give them the land, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:8 and Joshua 1:6.

Why did the Israelites use a lottery system to divide the land?

The Israelites used a lottery system, as described in Joshua 19:10, to divide the land because it was a way for God to determine the inheritance of each tribe, as seen in Proverbs 16:33, which says that the lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

What can we learn from the way the Israelites divided the land?

We can learn about the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, as seen in Joshua 1:6 and Deuteronomy 1:8, and also about the value of fairness and equality, as each tribe received their own inheritance, as described in Joshua 19:10.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the book of Joshua?

This verse is part of the larger narrative of the book of Joshua, which describes the conquest and division of the Promised Land, as seen in Joshua 1:1-6, and the fulfillment of God's promises to the Israelites, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:8 and Joshua 21:43-45.

Gill's Exposition on Joshua 19:10

And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun, according to their families,.... Who, though younger than Issachar, has his lot before him, agreeably to the order in which his blessing is

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 19:10

And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joshua 19:10

Zebulun is here put before Issachar, his elder brother, as he is also ,14 Deuteronomy 33:18.

Ellicott's Commentary on Joshua 19:10

THE BORDER OF ZEBULUN.(10) The third lot . . . for the children of Zebulun . . . Sarid (Syriac, Asdod; LXX., Seddouk) should be apparently spelt with consonants s, D, D. It is identified as Tell Shadϋd (sheet 8). From this point a line is drawn westward (past M’alϋl, sheet 5) to Jokneam (Tell Keimϋn, same sheet), a place at the south-east end of the Carmel ridge. This is the south boundary. We may note that it does not touch the sea, but leaves room for the territory of Asher to interpose (comp. Joshua 17:10-11). Returning to Sarid, the boundary is next (Joshua 19:12) drawn eastward to Chisloth-tabor (Iksβl, sheet 6), Daberath(Dabϋrieh, sheet 6), Japhia (Yβfa, sheet 5), Gittah-hepher (El-Mesh-hed, sheet 6).

Cambridge Bible on Joshua 19:10

10–16. The Territory of the Tribe of Zebulun 10. And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun] The tribe descended from the tenth of the sons of Jacob (Genesis 30:19-20), and the sixth and last of the sons of Leah (Genesis 35:23; Genesis 46:14). During the journey from Egypt to Palestine, the tribe of Zebulun formed one of the first camp, with Judah and Issachar, also sons of Leah, marching under the standard of Judah. Its numbers at the census of Sinai were 57,000, surpassed only by Simeon, Dan, and Judah. the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid] A spot unknown, but believed to be somewhere inland, in the plain of Esdraelon, and west of Chisloth-tabor (= “the loins of Tabor”) (see Joshua 19:12).

Barnes' Notes on Joshua 19:10

Sarid, not yet identified, was evidently a leading topographical point on the south frontier of Zebulun.

Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 19:10

10. The border… unto Sarid — This southern border of Zebulun, like the north border of Ephraim, (Joshua 16:6,) seems to start from a central point in the line, and go first westward and then eastward. Joshua 19:12.
