The Tribe of Naphtali medal is the fourth in the series of twelve drawings by Salvador Dali in honor of the 25th anniversary of the State of Israel. Inspiration to depict Naphtali as a deer with antlers comes from Jacob's blessing: "a hind let loose: he gives goodly words" (Genesis 49:21). The goodly words in Jacob's blessing take the form of a young girl dancing opposite the deer.

The Tribe of Joseph medal is the third in the series of twelve drawings by Salvador Dali in honor of the 25th anniversary of the State of Israel. Joseph, the youngest of the sons of Jacob, was also his father's favorite. Jacob prepared a coat of may colors for Joseph. Joseph, like David and Solomon after him, was a man of contrasts: a dreamer and interpreter of dreams, but also a realist and man of action of such capacity that he became the deputy of the Pharaoh of Egypt. The inspiration to depict Joseph as the mythical unicorn came to Dali from Moses' blessing to Joseph "The firstling of his herd, grandeur is his, and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox" (Deut. 33:17).
