The name "Naphtali" means "my struggle" or "wrestling," reflecting the competitive nature of the tribes as they settled in the Promised Land. Historically, Naphtali's territory was located in the northern part of Israel, a region known for its fertile land and strategic location. This allocation of cities to the Levites from Naphtali's inheritance underscores the interconnectedness of the tribes and the shared responsibility in supporting the Levitical priesthood.<p><b>they were given Kedesh in Galilee</b><br />Kedesh, meaning "holy" or "sacred place," was a city of refuge located in the region of Galilee. It served as a sanctuary for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, providing them protection from the avenger of blood until a fair trial could be conducted. The mention of Galilee is significant, as this region later becomes central in the ministry of Jesus Christ. The allocation of Kedesh to the Levites highlights the importance of justice and mercy within the community, principles that are foundational in both the Old and New Testaments.<p><b>Hammon</b><br />Hammon, though less prominent in biblical narratives, is another city allocated to the Levites. The name "Hammon" may be derived from a root meaning "warm" or "hot," possibly indicating a location with thermal springs or a warm climate. The inclusion of Hammon in the Levitical cities reflects the comprehensive distribution of resources and support for the Levites, ensuring they had places to live and serve throughout the land of Israel.<p><b>and Kiriathaim</b><br />Kiriathaim, meaning "two cities" or "double city," suggests a location of significant size or importance. This city, like others given to the Levites, provided them with a base from which to perform their religious duties and serve the people. The dual nature of the name may also symbolize the dual role of the Levites as both spiritual leaders and community servants, bridging the sacred and the secular in the life of Israel.<p><b>together with their pasturelands</b><br />The inclusion of pasturelands with the cities given to the Levites is crucial, as it provided them with the means to sustain themselves and their families. These lands allowed for the grazing of livestock, which was an essential part of the agrarian economy of ancient Israel. The provision of pasturelands underscores God's provision and care for the Levites, who were set apart for His service and relied on the support of the other tribes for their livelihood. This arrangement reflects the broader biblical principle of community interdependence and the call to support those dedicated to spiritual leadership.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_naphtali.htm">Tribe of Naphtali</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and Bilhah.
