1. The borders of the land
16. The names of the men who shall divide the land














and Pedahel son of Ammihud
Pedahel, whose name means "God has redeemed," is identified as the son of Ammihud. The mention of lineage is significant in biblical texts, emphasizing the importance of family heritage and tribal affiliation in Israelite society. Ammihud, meaning "people of glory," is a name that appears in other contexts, such as in the lineage of the tribe of Ephraim (Numbers 1:10). This highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes and the shared heritage of the Israelites. The naming of individuals in the Bible often reflects their character or role in God's plan, and Pedahel's name suggests a divine purpose or redemption associated with his leadership.

a leader from the tribe of Naphtali
The tribe of Naphtali was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant (Genesis 30:7-8). Naphtali's territory was located in the northern part of Canaan, a region known for its fertile land and strategic location. Leaders from each tribe were chosen to oversee the division of the Promised Land, indicating the importance of tribal representation and leadership in maintaining order and unity among the Israelites. The role of a leader in this context was not only administrative but also spiritual, as they were responsible for ensuring the tribe's adherence to God's commandments. The tribe of Naphtali is later mentioned in prophecies, such as in Isaiah 9:1-2, which speaks of a great light coming to the land of Naphtali, a prophecy fulfilled in the ministry of Jesus Christ, who began His public ministry in Galilee, the region of Naphtali.
