from the tribe of Naphtali
The phrase "from the tribe of Naphtali" refers to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. The tribe of Naphtali was known for its valor and swiftness, as reflected in Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:21, "Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns." Historically, the territory allotted to Naphtali was in the northern part of Canaan, a region known for its fertile land and strategic location. This tribe played a significant role in Israel's history, contributing to the military efforts during the conquest of Canaan and later during the time of the Judges.

Pedahel
The name "Pedahel" means "God has ransomed" or "whom God redeems" in Hebrew. This name reflects a deep theological truth about God's nature as a redeemer and deliverer. In the context of Numbers 34, Pedahel is appointed as a leader to help distribute the land of Canaan among the tribes of Israel. His name serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and His role in the redemption and restoration of His people. The choice of Pedahel underscores the importance of godly leadership in fulfilling God's promises.

son of Ammihud
The phrase "son of Ammihud" identifies Pedahel's lineage, providing a connection to his family heritage. The name "Ammihud" means "my kinsman is majesty" or "people of glory" in Hebrew. This lineage highlights the importance of family and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations. The mention of Ammihud also serves to authenticate Pedahel's authority and position within the tribe of Naphtali, as leadership roles were often passed down through family lines. This reflects the biblical principle of honoring one's heritage and the responsibilities that come with it.
