Löydetty 1698 Tulokset: Sons of Judah

• Judah got a wife named Tamar for his first-born, Er. (Genesis 38, 6)

• But Er, Judah's first-born, greatly offended the LORD; so the LORD took his life. (Genesis 38, 7)

• Then Judah said to Onan, "Unite with your brother's widow, in fulfillment of your duty as brother-in-law, and thus preserve your brother's line." (Genesis 38, 8)

• Thereupon Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Stay as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up"--for he feared that Shelah also might die like his brothers. So Tamar went to live in her father's house. (Genesis 38, 11)

• Years passed, and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah completed the period of mourning, he went up to Timnah for the shearing of his sheep, in company with his friend Hirah the Adullamite. (Genesis 38, 12)

• When Judah saw her, he mistook her for a harlot, since she had covered her face. (Genesis 38, 15)

• Judah asked, "What pledge am I to give to you?" She answered, "Your seal and cord, and the staff you carry." So he gave them to her and had intercourse with her, and she conceived by him. (Genesis 38, 18)

• Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite to recover the pledge from the woman; but he could not find her. (Genesis 38, 20)

• He went back to Judah and told him, "I could not find her; and besides, the men of the place said there was no temple prostitute there." (Genesis 38, 22)

• "Let her keep the things," Judah replied; "otherwise we shall become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her the kid, even though you were unable to find her." (Genesis 38, 23)

• About three months later, Judah was told that his daughter-in-law Tamar had played the harlot and was then with child from her harlotry. "Bring her out," cried Judah; "she shall be burned." (Genesis 38, 24)

• Judah recognized them and said, "She is more in the right than I am, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." But he had no further relations with her. (Genesis 38, 26)
