This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of the children. So in Authorized Version, and Revised Version, but not in Hebrew text, though it is so in some codices, Samaritan Pentateuch, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate. Some Jewish commentators explain it as being only "the sons", because Naphtali had more daughters than sons, and in Gen_49:51 is likened to a female (hind). Hence in Num_26:64 it is said, the "men" died (but the women multiplied).
