), a tribe that carries struggles in its name; it signifies wrestling, and the blessing entailed upon it signifies prevailing; it is a hind let loose.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Naphtali is a hind let loose - Those of this tribe were, as the loosen'd hind, zealous for their liberty, and yet affable and courteous, their language refined, and they complaisant, giving goodly words. Among God's Israel there is to be found a great variety of dispositions, yet all contributing to the beauty and strength of the body.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
