Study note
Setting — The narrator traces the boundary line of Zebulun’s allotted territory as it changes direction during the land distribution.
The words — The Hebrew verb שָׁב (shav) means “turns back,” and the phrase קֵדְמָה מִזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ (qedmah mizrah hashemesh) literally reads “eastward toward the rising of the sun.”
The thread — This segment links to the border later reaching Tabor and ending at the Jordan (Joshua 19:22), the city of Daberath later allotted from Issachar (Joshua 21:28), and the surrounding regional geography involving Naphtali (Judges 4:6).
Why it lands — The text requires a reader to follow the exact, winding route of the boundary without assuming a straight or simplified border line.
