Territory

Galilee

When the land was divided originally, towns in the territory of Naphtali were said to be in “Galilee”, i.e. Josh. 20:7. “Galilee” was at that time only the name of an undefined region in northern Israel, at least part of which lied in the land of Naphtali.

Many of Benjamin and Levi settled in Galilee after the return from Babylon, which is evident from the Scriptures. But Galilee did not originally belong to Benjamin.
