The sixth lot came out
In the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, the casting of lots was a method used to ensure that the distribution was guided by divine will. This practice is rooted in the belief that God controls the outcome of the lot (Proverbs 16:33). The use of lots is seen throughout the Old Testament, including the selection of Saul as king (1 Samuel 10:20-24) and the division of land in Numbers 26:55-56.

for the clans of the tribe of Naphtali:
Naphtali was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant (Genesis 30:7-8). The tribe's territory was located in the northern part of Canaan, a region known for its fertile land and strategic location. This area included the Sea of Galilee and extended to the borders of modern-day Lebanon. Historically, Naphtali's land was significant for trade and military routes, making it a target for various conquests. In the New Testament, this region is where Jesus conducted much of His ministry, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 9:1-2, which speaks of a great light shining in Galilee.

Courage and Contribution
Naphtali's role in Israel's battles reminds us of the importance of courage and contribution to the community. Seek ways to actively participate and contribute to the church and society.
