19:10-48 The five small remaining tribes received land on the edges of the Israelite territory and had little national influence. 19:10-23 The lands given to the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar were strategically located; the major international trading route from Egypt to Mesopotamia ran through their territories. When Israel was strong, this position brought prosperity. However, when Israel was weak, these tribes were vulnerable both to the armies of Egypt and to the successive Mesopotamian powers that fought for control of the ancient Near East. 19:10-16 The tribe of Zebulun received land partly in the valley of Jezreel and partly in the hills of Lower Galilee.
