Zebulon
We identify the Netherlands with the Tribe of Zebulon. Segments of other Tribes are also present alongside many who are probably not of Israelite descent.

Genesis 49:
13 ZEBULUN SHALL DWELL AT THE HAVEN OF THE SEA; AND HE SHALL BE FOR AN HAVEN OF SHIPS; AND HIS BORDER SHALL BE UNTO ZIDON.
The expression translated above (from the KJ) as "THE HAVEN OF THE SEA" in Hebrew is "Chof [pronounced as "Hof"] Yamim" meaning at the seashores or at the shore of the seas. I/3 of Holland is below sea-level, another 1/3 is subject to periodic sea-flooding, i.e. 2/3 of the country needs protection (in the form of dykes, dams, etc) from sea-inundation, i.e. they are dwelling on the shores of the sea. In Ancient Times a people recorded by Ptolemy called Sabulingoi dwelt in the region of Northern Holland-Frisia. "Sabulingoi" in Hebrew means "People of Zebulon". There are numerous additional proofs (see our work "The Tribes") equating the Netherlands with Zebulon..
Amsterdam Diamonds

Amsterdam has an extended heritage in the diamond business, and has been a major European diamond center since Sephardic Jews introduced the diamond cutting industry in the later 16th century. Ultra-Orthodox Jews are still prominent in worldwide diamond marketing and distribution, and urban legend has it they hide diamonds in their beards to move them through customs without being detected.

Johan from Holland brought our attention to the Royal Palace at the Dam Square in Amsterdam. Built in the 1650s it has the figure of a ship at its top. The ship is the symbol of Zebulon (Midrash Bamidbar Rabah 2:5).
The facade at the top near the roof has depictions of unicorns. The unicorn may represent Joseph.
The Midrash (Bamidbar Rabah 2:5) says that the 'raem' (unicorn) was the symbol of MANASSEH.

The symbol of the Dutch Republic was a ship.

Dam Square Royal Palace
The palace "is built on 13,659 wooden piles... that were driven deep into the sandy soil. It is a construction technique still necessary and employed today".
The ground over much of the Netherlands is in effect sea-sand. Zebulon of the Netherlands literally Dwells "on the Shores of the Sea" in more ways than one!
