Prophecy Fulfilled
Commentators like John Calvin and Matthew Henry see the lot falling to Zebulun as a powerful fulfillment of Jacob's prophecy from Genesis 49:13. Hundreds of years earlier, Jacob foretold Zebulun would dwell by the sea, and here the lot divinely assigns them a maritime region. This is seen as a clear sign of God's sovereignty and the absolute reliability of His prophetic word.
