Oholiab on the other hand does not come from the important tribe of Judah but rather from the smaller tribe of Dan. Yet there is a deeper level to the spiritual message ensconced with the choice of Oholiab be Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. "( Genesis 49:18)This "Hearkening by Hashem " and the "Yearning for Hashem's deliverance" will be a cornerstone of the spiritual legacy of Oholiab and the tribe of Dan to this very day. That spiritual power in Oholiab continued throughout his descendants and his tribe throughout the generation. The Ethiopian Jews of today have clearly exemplified those spiritual qualities of Oholiab.
