# Naphtali's Two Dreams

In the fortieth year of his life Naphtali beheld a vision in which the sun and the moon stood still on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem. Isaac urged the sons to run and seize them according to their strength, promising the sun and moon to the one who took hold. Levi grasped the sun and Judah the moon; both were lifted up with them. Levi then shone as the sun and received twelve palm branches from a young man, while Judah shone as the moon with twelve rays beneath his feet.

Seven months later Naphtali saw Jacob standing by the sea of Jamnia with his sons. A ship marked Jacob, laden with dried flesh and lacking sailors or pilot, appeared. At their father’s word they boarded; a fierce storm arose and Jacob, holding the helm, flew away. Naphtali reported both dreams to Jacob, who said they must be fulfilled in their season after Israel had endured many things, and who wept in the belief that Joseph still lived.
