Rabbith, Kishion, and Abez are towns in the portion allotted to the tribe of Issachar within the larger distribution of land to Israel's tribes. That distribution belongs to a geographical record of Canaan made on the basis of written surveys that accurately described the land and its holdings and property. In that account a lot is an assigned portion or division determined by providence.
The Hebrew term illustrated here for a region, country, or lot of inheritance is different from the term in Daniel 12:13 for Daniel standing in his lot, which refers to his place in the judgment of the righteous dead where he is represented by his Advocate. Issachar's allotted territory formed part of Galilee, a district known as the circle or region of the heathen nations. The tribes given land in Galilee never fully took possession of it but settled among the Canaanite inhabitants, in some cases making them tributary.
