His grandfather, Hur, is traditionally believed to have been a leader who supported Moses during the battle against the Amalekites (<a href="/exodus/17-10.htm">Exodus 17:10-12</a>). This lineage suggests a heritage of faithfulness and leadership.<p><b>of the tribe of Judah</b><br>The tribe of Judah is significant in biblical history, being one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

The only additions made are in <a href="/context/exodus/35-34.htm" title="And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.">Exodus 35:34-35</a>.<p>(34) <span class= "bld">He hath put in his heart that he may teach.</span>--It was essential that the two master-craftsmen should be able to instruct their subordinates, to whom the actual accomplishment of the works which they designed had to be committed.

Though, in some real sense, "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians," still Moses was probably devoid of the technical knowledge requisite for a "superintendent of the works" on the present occasion. At any rate, his other duties imperatively required that he should decline to undertake, in addition to them, so onerous an office. And God had told him whom it would be best for him to set over the work (<a href="/exodus/31-1.htm">Exodus 31:1-6</a>). Accordingly, he now made known to the people that the construction of the tabernacle and its appurtenances would be committed to two men - Bezaleel, the son of Uri, as principal, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, as his assist-ant - who would "teach" those under them what they were to do (ver. 34). <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 30.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The Lord hath called</span>, etc See <a href="/exodus/31-2.htm">Exodus 31:2</a>: - "I have called by name Bezaleel," etc. <span class="cmt_word">Of the tribe of Judah</span>.
