Genesis 38 --- The story of Judah and Tamar

Read Genesis 38

- Are we ever told the name of Judah’s wife?

- V7&10, this seems like quite an unusual thing for God to do…what would be the benefit and disadvantages if God were to carry out such swift and obvious punishment today?

- V14-18, given her predicament, and the cultural context, do you think this was the right thing for Tamar to do or not?

- V24, note the hypocrisy from Judah…

- V29, why was it important for this story to be preserved throughout Scripture? (compare with Matthew ch1v3)
