מדרש אויף זכריה 12:3

“And the people shall go out and gather each day’s portion on its day” (Exodus 16:4). That is what is written: “Blessed be the Lord, day by day” (Psalms 68:20). The Holy One blessed be He said to Israel: ‘In accordance with the measure that a person metes, so it is meted for him; I gave you the Torah in which you engage each day, as it is stated: “Happy is the man who heeds Me, to persist at My gates each day” (Proverbs 8:34). Likewise, “they seek Me each day” (Isaiah 58:2). As you live, I will sate you with bread from the heavens each day, as it is stated: “And the people shall go out and gather each day’s portion on its day, so that I may test them, whether they will follow My Torah…” (Exodus 16:4). Moreover, I bless you each, as it is stated: “Blessed be the Lord, day by day, He will provide [yaamos] for us day after day” (Psalms 68:20). When you perform My will, I call you: “Those borne [haamusim] by Me from birth” (Isaiah 46:3), and I will provide [maamis] you with a cup of salvation, due to the merit of the Temple,’ which is known as “a stone of burden [maamasa],” as it is stated: “It will be on that day, that I will render Jerusalem a stone of burden” (Zechariah 12:3).

“The scepter shall not depart from Judah, or the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shilo arrives; and to him nations will assemble” (Genesis 49:10).
“The scepter shall not depart from Judah” – this is Makhir…⁵³He was the ruler of Gilad, but his descendants mentioned in the verse: “From Makhir rulers descended” (Judges 5:14) were descendants of his daughter, who was married to a man from the tribe of Judah. “Or the ruler’s staff from between his feet” – as he came and prostrated himself before his feet.⁵⁴Makhir prostrated himself before Ḥetzron, Judah’s grandson. “Until Shilo arrives” – this is the messianic king. “And to him nations will assemble [yik’hat]” – he will come and blunt [yak’heh] the teeth of the idolaters.
Another matter: “The scepter [shevet] shall not depart from Judah” – this is the Sanhedrin, which flogs and subjugates.⁵⁵The term shevet can also mean a rod with which one flogs (see, e.g., Proverbs 13:24). “Or the ruler’s staff from between his feet” – these are the two scribes of the judges who would stand before them, one to the right and one to the left. “Until Shilo arrives”⁵⁶This is understood to mean that the prominent leaders of the Jewish people will always be from Judah. – they convened and said: Hillel, from whom did he descend? Rabbi Levi said: A genealogical scroll was found in Jerusalem in which it was written: Hillel is from David. Rabbi Ḥiyya Rabba is from Shefatya son of Avital.⁵⁷Avital was David’s wife. The house of Kalba Savua is from Caleb. The house of Tzitzit HaKeset is from Avner. The house of Koveshin is from Ahab. The house of Yatza is from Asaf. The house of Yehu is from Tzippori. The house of Yanai is from Eli. Rabbi Yosei ben Ḥalafta is from Yonadav son of Rekhav. Rabbi Neḥemya is from Nehemiah the Tirshatite.⁵⁸Although not all of these families are from the tribe of Judah, the midrash cites the entire report of the genealogical scroll because it demonstrates that prominent leaders in various generations descended from Judah.
