Naphtali, son of Jacob


Naphtali (Hebrew: נַפְתָּלִי; Modern: Naftali; Tiberian: Nap̄tālî) is the sixth son of Jacob (latter named by Hashem as Israel), with Bilhah. He is also the father of the Ancient Israelite Tribe of Naphtali and of the Naphtalites.

And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Genesis 30:7-8

The Prophetic Blessing of Jacob prior to his death:

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Genesis 49:1-2, 21
