==Biblical references== According to the [[Targum Pseudo-Jonathan]], Naphtali was a swift runner, though this appears to have been inferred from the [[Blessing of Jacob]], which equates Naphtali to a [[Red Deer|hind]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Genesis 49:21 |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.49.21?ven=The_Contemporary_Torah,_Jewish_Publication_Society,_2006&lang=en&with=Translations&lang2=en |access-date=2023-10-31 |website=www.sefaria.org}}</ref> However, Biblical scholars believe this to actually be a description of the tribe of Naphtali. Naphtali is listed in Deuteronomy 34.2 when God takes Moses up to the mountain of Nebo and shows him the extent of the land which he had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. See article on [[Tribe of Simeon]] for a map of the twelve tribes of Israel.
