This tribe was allocated land in the northern part of Canaan, which included the region around the Sea of Galilee. The territory of Naphtali was known for its fertile land and strategic location, which later became significant in the ministry of Jesus Christ, as much of His ministry took place in this area. The tribe is often associated with themes of struggle and triumph, as seen in the blessing of Jacob in <a href="/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a>, where Naphtali is described as a "doe set free that bears beautiful fawns."<p><b>Nahbi son of Vophsi</b><br>Nahbi, whose name means "hidden" or "concealed," was chosen as a representative from the tribe of Naphtali to spy out the land of Canaan. His father's name, Vophsi, is less well-known, and there is little additional biblical information about him. The selection of Nahbi as a spy indicates his standing and trust within his tribe. The role of the spies was crucial, as they were tasked with assessing the land promised by God to the Israelites. This mission was a test of faith and obedience, as the spies' reports would influence the entire nation's willingness to enter the Promised Land. Nahbi's participation in this mission connects to the broader narrative of Israel's journey and the challenges of trusting in God's promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/naphtali.htm">Naphtali</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and Bilhah.
