About Oholiab
A man Moses chose to help Bezalel, the master craftsman, with the tabernacle's construction and decoration. Oholiab, son of Ahisamach and of Dan's tribe, was a noted designer and stitcher. He taught, with Bezalel, the skills to build the tabernacle (Exodus 31:6; 35:34; 36:1–2; 38:23; “Aholiab” in the King James Version).
