Jacob's son living at the time of the Patriarchs

Zebulun

Jacob’s tenth son, Leah’s sixth, whom she named Zebulun, saying God had given her “a good dowry” (Genesis 30:19–20). Jacob’s blessing says “Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea” (Genesis 49:13). His tribe’s land lay in lower Galilee, and Matthew counts Jesus’ move to Capernaum, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy (Matthew 4:13–16).
