Bereishis 049: Order Of Birchos Yaakov
moshe rubin asks:
do you know of any reason why the shevatim of birchas yaakov seem listed out of order from usual - naftali out of place?

The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
It seems to me that the answer to your question lies in the Seforno, who explains that the Torah specifically placed Gad after Dan, to
stress the contrast between the former (with reference to Shimshon) who fought the Plishtim single-handedly, and Gad, who fought in groups.
