God's command regarding land distribution

The Lord gave Moses instructions on who should distribute the land of Canaan, and Elizaphan son of Parnok was among the chosen leaders.

16The LORD said to Moses:

17These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18You shall also take one leader, one leader from each tribe, to apportion the land as an inheritance.

Zebulun's inheritance

The tribe of Zebulun, represented by Parnok's son, received its inheritance in the promised land according to God's plan.

10The third lot came up for Zebulun, clan by clan. The border of their inheritance ran as far as Sarid.
וַיַּ֙עַל֙ הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י לִבְנֵ֥י זְבוּלֻ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם וַיְהִ֛י גְּב֥וּל נַחֲלָתָ֖ם עַד־שָׂרִֽיד׃ ‬
11From there it went west to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and reached the ravine near Jokneam.
וְעָלָ֨ה גְבוּלָ֧ם ׀ לַיָּ֛מָּה וּמַרְעֲלָ֖ה וּפָגַ֣ע בְּדַבָּ֑שֶׁת וּפָגַע֙ אֶל־הַנַּ֔חַל אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י יָקְנְעָֽם׃ ‬
12From Sarid it turned east toward the sunrise, to the border of Kisloth Tabor, then went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.
וְשָׁ֣ב מִשָּׂרִ֗יד קֵ֚דְמָה מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ עַל־גְּב֥וּל כִּסְלֹ֖ת תָּבֹ֑ר וְיָצָ֥א אֶל־הַדָּֽבְרַ֖ת וְעָלָ֥ה יָפִֽיעַ׃ ‬
13From there it continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, came out at Rimmon, and turned toward Neah.
וּמִשָּׁ֤ם עָבַר֙ קֵ֣דְמָה מִזְרָ֔חָה גִּתָּ֥ה חֵ֖פֶר עִתָּ֣ה קָצִ֑ין וְיָצָ֛א רִמּ֥וֹן הַמְּתֹאָ֖ר הַנֵּעָֽה׃ ‬
14From there the border curved north of Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.
וְנָסַ֤ב אֹתוֹ֙ הַגְּב֔וּל מִצְּפ֖וֹן חַנָּתֹ֑ן וְהָיוּ֙ תֹּֽצְאֹתָ֔יו גֵּ֖י יִפְתַּח־אֵֽל׃ ‬
15Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve towns with their villages.
וְקַטָּ֤ת וְנֽ͏ַהֲלָל֙ וְשִׁמְר֔וֹן וְיִדְאֲלָ֖ה וּבֵ֣ית לָ֑חֶם עָרִ֥ים שְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ ‬
16These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Zebulunites, clan by clan.
זֹ֛את נַחֲלַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־זְבוּלֻ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָ֑ם הֶֽעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ ‬

Organization of the tribes

Phinehas' family was part of the larger organization of Israel's twelve tribes during the wilderness journey and preparations for entering Canaan.

30The descendants of Zebulun: all the men twenty years old and upward who were fit for military service were listed by name, according to their genealogy, by clan and family.
לִבְנֵ֣י זְבוּלֻ֔ן תּוֹלְדֹתָ֥ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֑ם בְּמִסְפַּ֣ר שֵׁמֹ֗ת מִבֶּ֨ן עֶשְׂרִ֤ים שָׁנָה֙ וָמַ֔עְלָה כֹּ֖ל יֹצֵ֥א צָבָֽא׃ ‬
31The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.
פְּקֻדֵיהֶ֖ם לְמַטֵּ֣ה זְבוּלֻ֑ן שִׁבְעָ֧ה וַחֲמִשִּׁ֛ים אֶ֖לֶף וְאַרְבַּ֥ע מֵאֽוֹת׃ פ ‬
