JOSHUA 19:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.”
The fourth lot came out for Issachar, for the people of Issachar, according to their families — Issachar, the fifth son of Leah and Jacob, receives his allotment. The mention of Issachar recalls Jacob's blessing: 'Issachar is a strong ass crouching between the sheepfolds' (Genesis 49:14), suggesting agricultural and pastoral identity. The tribe's allotment will reflect this character: fertile central territory suitable for grain and livestock.
