Senses in use

  1. Land designation · dominant

    In Matthew 4:13, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in the phrase about regions by the sea; the APB renders the setting as “the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali.” In Matthew 4:15, the same form stands in the phrase “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali.”

  2. Tribal designation · occasional

    In Revelation 7:8, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in a repeated “from the tribe of” construction; the APB renders “From the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Zebulun” in geographic phrases in Matthew 4:13 and Matthew 4:15, and in a tribal phrase in Revelation 7:8. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than define the form by themselves.
