Ezekiel 48:25

And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.

Simeon - omitted in the blessing of Moses in Deuteronomy 33:1, perhaps because of the Simeonite "prince" who at Baalpeor led the Israelites in their idolatrous whoredoms with Midian ().

And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.

Issachar - its ancient portion had been on the plain of Esdraelon. Compared ( ) to "a strong donkey crouching between two burdens" - i:e., tribute and tillage; never meddling with wars except in self-defense.
