Re: Naphtali
Avinoam Mann's ideas are intriguing on Naphtali and possibly
supported by 4Q252. A tiny part of the blessing of Naphtali is
preserved in col VI. There's not enough to say what is going on, but
it is also unlikely that there was enough space in the whole column
for all of the blessings in Gen 49 to be interpreted. Thus, Naphtali
may have been selected for some reason. An argument mostly from
silence, but 4Q252 must have ended in col. VI.
