“And Judah saw there a daughter Canaanite, whose name was Shuah, and he took her and went unto her†(Genesis 38:2).
Though our lessons are primarily about Tamar, we must first look at Judah. As I mentioned before, he helped sell his brother, Joseph, into slavery. Then for many years led his father to believe Joseph was dead. Judah had two strikes against him when he fled to Canaan and married a Canaanite woman. This was not the will of God and his father would not have approved this union. Not much of a leading man I would say. Judah begat three sons and the oldest one, Er, married a woman named Tamar. Judah is Tamar’s father-in-law. We will learn more about Tamar tomorrow.
