Judah and Tamar
1About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite. 2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her. 3So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er. 4Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan. 5Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
Judah, the fourth-born son of Jacob and Leah, he was the son who suggested they sell Joseph into slavery.
The Canaanite’s were quickly corrupting Israel and his family with their ungodly ways and Judah had married a Canaanite woman.
What will become of Judah’s sons?
When we associate with ungodly people they eventually corrupt us with their ways.
We will soon see why God didn’t want them to intermarry with the Canaanites.
Father knows best! Remember the television series?
God has a plan to bring them out of Canaan.
Are you associating with ungodly people?
Blessings, David
