Deuteronomy 33:23 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

There is much of gospel in this blessing of Naphtali. And no doubt, Moses had an eye to spiritual things in his prophecy of it. And what is it to be full with the blessing of JEHOVAH, but, in his three-fold character of Person, to enjoy the FATHER's love, the Redeemer's grace, and the HOLY GHOST's fellowship? Reader! may it be your portion and mine, to have this fulness, and we shall then possess a Naphtali's portion. It may not be unacceptable to the Reader, to add, that Capernaum, of which we hear so much in our LORD'S days, belonged to Naphtali.

Deuteronomy 33:23

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
