Judah And Tamar

July 29, 2021

Tamars intervention also seems to have been critical in changing Judah from a man with no moral compass as evidenced by his treatment of Joseph Tamar and Er into one who is eloquent self-sacrificing and compassionate when we next see him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn whose name was Tamar.

The story of Joseph begins in Genesis 37 and continues through Genesis 50.

Judah and tamar. Tamar the first daughter-in-law of Judah disguised herself as a prostitute to seduce Judah and had an illegitimate relationship. It is too abominable. After some time Tamar receives word that Judah is coming to Timnah which is a village close to her home.

4 Then she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son and she named him Onan. Because Onan practised a form of contraception Tamar did not become pregnant. We read that Judah took a Canaanite woman the daughter of Shua to be his wife and had three sons through her.

However Scripture says Er was wicked in the sight of the Lord so God put him to death. Judah had seen both of his sons die after marrying Tamar so he hid Shelah away and kept him from Tamar. Er is killed by the Lord because he is wicked leaving Tamar a childless widow.

The oldest son Er married a woman named Tamar. The story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 is like a parenthesis in the Joseph narrative. Only when she came forth with the pledges did Judah admit his guilt and she was spared.

Tamar the widow who had the right to bear Judahs eldest sons child and continue the family line responded. 6 Judah got a wife for Er his firstborn and her name was Tamar. Er Onan and Shelah.

While there are three Tamars referenced in scripture the Tamar referenced here is the daughter-in-law of Judah. For a Jewish woman this meant disgrace because people thought that being childless was a punishment from God. The line of Judah was to continue through this union.

In Gen 38 we find an incestuous event between Tamar and Judah. Tamar married into the family of Judah first to Judahs son Er and then after his death to Onan his brother. To modern readers eyes it is hard to believe that such things can really happen to one of the great ancestors of Israel.

Judahs second son Onan marries Ers widow Tamar according to the rules of levirate marriage which require a family member usually a brother to produce an heir for the deceased. Tamar whose story is embedded in the ancestor narratives of Genesis is the ancestress of much of the tribe of Judah and in particular of the house of David. Because Judah took temple prostitution as a trivial affair like any other Canaanites he approached Tamar disguised as a temple prostitute and got her pregnant.

Why did God interrupt the account of faithful Joseph with the sordid account of Judahs sin. As Judah was traveling this road he came across what he thought was a. Judah asks Tamar to return home to her father until Shelah was of age because his fear was so great.

The offspring produced by Tamar and her father-in-law were the twins Pharez and Zarah. Tzadakah mimeini - she is more. She dressed as a prostitute tempted Judah and conceived a child with him without him knowing who she was Genesis 381319.

The event occurred because he was affected by Canaanite cultures and religious practices not because of his simple sexual desire which in ancient times is easily excused. Unfortunately Er was sinful and died at Gods hand. Judah had three sons named Er Onan and Shelah.

Lets suggest two reasons although there may be more. We learn about a troubling incident in the life of Judah. When Er came of age Judah arranged a marriage between Er and a Canaanite girl named Tamar.

And the LORD slew him. 2 There he saw a Canaanite woman the daughter of Shua and he married her. J 8 Then Judah said to Onan Sleep with your brothers wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.

7 And Er Judahs firstborn was wicked in the sight of the LORD. She is the daughter-in-law of Judah who acquires her for his firstborn son Er. Judah finds a wife for Er whose name is Tamar.

I so the Lord put him to death. Tamars actions and Judahs reactions to them turned Judah to a right path as he became the man who recognized. And it came to pass when he went in unto his brothers wife that he spilled it on the.

She decides to take off her widow garments put on a veil Gen 3814 and go to the road that leads to Timnah. But Onan spills his seed. H 7 But Er Judahs firstborn was wicked in the Lords sight.

9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his. God kills him off too. 5 And when she.

Judah had three sons. Again we might wonder. 38 About this time Judah left home and moved to Adullam where he stayed with a man named Hirah.

The story of Judah and Tamar magnifies the faith of Joseph. Er Onan and Shelah. When her pregnancy was discovered Tamar was accused of harlotry and condemned also by Judah to death by burning.

Since he knew that a child with Tamar would not be his he decided not to sire a child. 8 And Judah said unto Onan Go in unto thy brothers wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother. When he slept with her 3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son and he named the boy Er.

Judah leaves his brothers settles near an Adullamite and marries an unnamed Canaanite woman who bears him three sons in quick literary successionEr Onan and Shelah.
