And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
Right next to Simeon's territory, stretching from the eastern border all the way to the western border, Issachar gets their piece of land.
Everyone gets their place in God's perfect plan, even the land assignments are intentional.
