| Rendering Rationale | The form לִזְבוּלֻן consists of the preposition לְ ('to/for') prefixed to the proper name זְבוּלוּן. The rendering preserves the lamed prefix ('to') and reflects the root זבל by rendering the name as 'Dwelling-Exalted One,' highlighting its habitation/exaltation connotations. |
