And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall badjoin Sidon.
And that the land was pleasant;
He bowed ahis shoulder to bear a burden,
And became a band of slaves.
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward.

Genesis 49:13-15
These two were the two youngest sons of Leah and I imagine they probably hung out a lot together, so they ended up being very similar types of people and therefore treated together. Now, Jacob separates them into two separate prophecies while Moses puts them into one blessing. What Jacob emphasizes is Zebulun's coastal seafaring maritime setting. They are all about the ocean. On the other hand, he emphasized Issachar's strength and work ethic. He is a strong donkey, he is a servant, he does the work.
