Notice; Naphtali (which means wrestling) was the last

tribe when they would move from on location to another

(Numbers 10: 13-28), Judah was the first -- you start with

praise and end with wrestling with God for the blessing as

Jacob (Genesis 32:22-32). According to the arrangement

of the tribes when the Tabernacle was set up was that you

entered through Judah/Praise, then wrestled with God

(Naphtali) then you came to Benjamin (which means the

son of the right hand), you meet with Jesus in the Holy of

Holies.
