What Does Joshua 19:18 Mean?
The borders of Issachar are drawn toward the great plain of Jezreel and nearby towns such as Shunem. This was rich and fertile lowland, prized for its harvests.
Jacob's blessing had pictured Issachar as a strong one resting between his burdens in a pleasant land (Genesis 49:14-15). The fertile fields given here match that ancient word. God grants good ground to His people, that they may labor and rest in His provision.
