The (Scattered) Hebrews: Tribe of Naphtali

Naphtali is a deer let loose;
He uses beautiful words.

Note: It is recommended to read the House of Israel before reading this article

Naphtali was the 6th son of Jacob, his mother Bilhah was the maidservant of Rachel and he is the full blood brother of Dan. Naphtali means “my wrestling.” Rachel named him this because of her competition with Leah in having children. Naphtali also was one of the 10 tribes that migrated over into the Americas from Assyria. The tribe eventually settled all throughout the Pacific Islands (Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Hawaii..etc). This is why they are likened to a deer let loose, because they sailed from South America and colonized great civilizations all throughout these Pacific Islands and because of their carefree personalities. I brought up genetic correlations before in the tribe of Reuben article between South American indigenous and indigenous Polynesian/Australians sharing gene sequences. In Deuteronomy, Jacob prophecies of Naphtali:

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and the south.

-Deuteronomy 33:23

Now here in this passage, it says “thou the west..” which in Hebrew is the word “yam” (strong’s H3220). This means a large body of water westward and he adds that it would be South (South Seas). We know that Jacob was talking about where they would end up in the end times because they were literally part of the Northern Kingdom in Israel (which obviously isn’t South) and they didn’t even border the sea. Pacific Islanders are also known for their beautiful words such as aloha/hello of the Hawaiians, kia kaha/stand strong of the Aotearoa and Fa’Amalosi/be strong by the Samoans.
