“Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;”
From the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses — Zebulun, Jacob's tenth son, appears here in the enumeration with full status. The systematic enumeration of all tribes, regardless of birth order or mother's status, affirms the fundamental equality of Israel's tribal divisions within the covenant community.
