Naphtali
According to the
Book of Genesis
,
Naphtali
(; ) was the sixth son of
Jacob
and second son with
Bilhah
. He was the founder of the
Israelite
Tribe of Naphtali
. However, some
Biblical scholars
view this as postdiction, an
eponymous
metaphor
providing an
aetiology
of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation.
