Who was Naphtali?

[trulyblezzed]

Hello Everyone :star:

I have a question for you Bible buffs out there... what kind of person was Naftali in the Bible? My pastor briefly mentioned him during a preaching, saying that he was a very positive man; never once making a negative comments about anything. So I thought to myself "cool! I want to be like that!". However, once I tried to research Naphtali's personality and character, I can't seem to find any biblical background. Please help!

Naphtali was the most powerful of the northern tribes of Israel founded by Naphtali who was one of Jacobs sons. It was on this tribe that Jacob pronounced the patriarchal blessing, “Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words." (Genesis 49:21)

The name Naphtali means ‘My wrestling’.
