Strong's Lexicon Nephthalim: Naphtali Original Word: Νεφθαλείμ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew נַפְתָּלִי (Naphtali) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H5321 (נַפְתָּלִי - Naphtali) Usage: Nephthalim refers to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. In the New Testament, Nephthalim is used to denote the region or territory associated with the tribe of Naphtali. Cultural and Historical Background: The tribe of Naphtali settled in the northern part of the land of Canaan, near the Sea of Galilee. This region was known for its fertile land and strategic location, which made it significant in both trade and military endeavors. The tribe played a role in various biblical narratives, including the period of the Judges and the united monarchy under David and Solomon. In the New Testament, the region of Naphtali is noted for being part of the area where Jesus conducted much of His ministry, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah about a great light shining in Galilee.
