Oholiab Oholiab

Oholiab was teamed up with Bezalel to build the tabernacle.

The name Oholiab is a construct of two elements:
ohel (ohel 32a), meaning tent, from the identical verb to pitch a tent. The word tabernacle is a Latin word which means tent; in the Hebrew text the word ohel is used. A peculiar other word, which is spelled identical is ohel (ahal 33), to be clear, shine as used in Job 25:5 where Bildad says, "If even the moon has no brightness [...] in His sight."
ab (ab 4a), father.

The name Oholiab means both Father's Tent and Father's Shine. This is remarkable because the meaning of the name of Oholiab's colleague Bezalel is In The Shadow Of God.
