Gen. 38:1‑3,7,10,24‑30• 1And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
2And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
3And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
7And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
10And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
24And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
25When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these belong am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
26And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
28And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out his hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
29And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
30And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah. (Gen. 38:1‑3,7,10,24‑30)
Gen. 49:8‑12• 8Judah--as to thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.
9Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?
10The sceptre will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.
11He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.
12The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth are white with milk. (Gen. 49:8‑12)
