בראשית, פרק מ״ו, פסוק י״ד

The family line of Zebulun continues through his three sons: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Within this family, the second son carries a distinct connection to the sea. His name is tied to the world of shipping, specifically hinting at the oars of a boat. This maritime theme is reflected in another biblical description, which notes that ship oars were crafted from oak trees gathered from the region of Bashan [שפתי כהן].
