Commentary on Numbers 1:42

Naphtali's census reflects God's sovereign organization of the final tribe in this enumeration. The tribe's placement in far northern Galilee would later prove significant when this region, called 'Galilee of the Gentiles' (Isaiah 9:1; Matthew 4:15), became central to Jesus's ministry. What seemed like a distant border region in Moses's day became the epicenter of divine revelation when the Word became flesh. This demonstrates that God's purposes transcend human understanding of significance and centrality.
