Kedesh
Kedesh was a significant city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. It served as a city of refuge, a place where individuals accused of manslaughter could seek asylum until a fair trial. This reflects the justice and mercy inherent in God's law. Kedesh is also associated with Barak, who, alongside Deborah, led Israel to victory over the Canaanite forces of Sisera (Judges 4:6). The city's role as a refuge can be seen as a type of Christ, who offers refuge and salvation to all who seek Him.

Edrei
Edrei is one of the towns listed in the inheritance of Naphtali. It should not be confused with the Edrei in Bashan, where King Og was defeated by the Israelites (Numbers 21:33-35). The mention of Edrei in this context highlights the distribution of land among the tribes of Israel, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham regarding the land of Canaan. The allocation of land underscores the importance of inheritance and God's faithfulness in providing for His people.

En-hazor
En-hazor is another town within the territory of Naphtali. The name suggests a connection to water, as "En" often refers to a spring or fountain. This indicates the town's possible strategic importance due to its water resources. The mention of En-hazor in the list of towns emphasizes the detailed and organized manner in which the land was divided among the tribes, ensuring that each tribe had access to necessary resources. This reflects God's provision and care for the practical needs of His people.

Teaching Points
God's Faithfulness in Detail
The specific mention of cities like Kedesh, Edrei, and En-hazor in the allotment of land to Naphtali demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises down to the smallest detail. Believers can trust that God is attentive to the details of their lives.

Sanctuary and Justice
Kedesh as a city of refuge illustrates God's provision for mercy and justice. Christians are called to be places of refuge and justice in their communities, offering grace and truth.

Strategic Importance of Obedience
The cities mentioned were not just random locations but strategic places for the tribe of Naphtali. Believers should seek God's guidance in understanding the strategic roles they play in His kingdom.

Inheritance and Identity
The allocation of these cities to Naphtali underscores the importance of understanding one's spiritual inheritance and identity in Christ. Believers are encouraged to explore and embrace their God-given identity and purpose.Verse 37. - Kedesh (see Joshua 12:22). It was the residence of Barak (Judges 4:6). Known to Josephus (Bell. Jud., 4.2.3.) as Cydoessa, to Eusebius and Jerome as Cydissus; it is now Kedes (see Robinson, 'Later Biblical Researches'). Edrei. Not the Edrei of Og, which was beyond Jordan.
