Galilee

Galilee was a region in Palestine famous for its importance during the ministry of Christ. When the land was divided originally, towns in the territory of Naphtali were said to be in “Galilee”. After the return from Babylon, many of Benjamin and Levi settled in the region.

History

Settlement of Benjamin and Levi

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. When the land was divided originally, towns in the territory of Naphtali were said to be in “Galilee”, i.e. Josh. 20:7.
