One disturbing story found in the
Bible is Judah and his daughter in law. The story is recorded in Genesis 38. Basically
what happens is that Judah sleeps with her after thinking she has a harlot, the result is
twins. What is more disturbing is that Jesus comes from the lineage of the twins, so
basically the family line comes as a result of Judah sleeping with his daughter in law!
Here is the story
Genesis 38:
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and
turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain
Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in
unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. 4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah:
and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 7 And Er,
Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the
sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. 8 And Judah said unto Onan,
Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed
to thy brother. 9 And Onan
knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his
brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his
brother. 10 And the thing which he did
displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his
daughter in law,
Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren
did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
12 And in process of time the daughter
of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto
his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying,
Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath
to shear his sheep. 14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and
covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an
open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw
that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. 16 And he turned unto her by the
way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee;
(for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What
wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17 And he said,
I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou
send it? 18 And he said, What
pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that
is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her,
and she conceived by him. 19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the
garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his
friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's
hand: but he found her not. 21 Then he asked the men of that
place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way
side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and
also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. 23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest
we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 And it came to pass about three
months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in
law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring
her forth, and let her be burnt. 25 When she was brought forth, she
sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she
said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She
hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah
my son. And he knew her again no more. 27 And it came to pass in the time of
her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And it came to pass, when she
travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a
scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 29 And it came to pass, as he drew
back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she
said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee:
therefore his name was called Pharez.
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
So there you go, Judah sleeps with his
daughter in law after thinking she is a harlot, they have twins and she gets burned. What
is disturbing about this is that Judah did not get punished but lady Tamar
did. So basically Judah had sex outside marriage and got away with it, the lady got
killed. This is clear double standards and shows that it is okay to have sex outside
marriage for men in the Bible.
So I hope a Christian could explain
this chapter, I also ask if they can teach this to their kids.
Now as I said, Jesus lineage is
a result of this. The names of the two kids who resulted out of this sexual encounter
between Judah and Tamar were Pharez and Zarah.
Here is Jesus lineage according
to Matthew 1:
1 The book of the generation of
Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac
begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares
begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram
begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat
Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz
begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat
Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king;
and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 And Asa
begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat
Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9 And Ozias
begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And Ezekias
begat Manasses; and Manasses begat
Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias
begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were
carried away to Babylon: 12 And after they were brought to
Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel
begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14 And Azor
begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15 And Eliud
begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband
of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham
to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from
the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen
generations.
So there you go, Jesus lineage
comes from the result of Judah sleeping with a lady who he thought was a harlot who was in fact
his daughter in law!
I wonder how Christians will explain
that their Gods lineage is from a result of sex outside marriage between a man and
his daughter law. There is no need for an explanation, this is pure rubbish, it is blasphemy to say such a thing about God. Gods lineage
from father in law sleeping with daughter in law! This is indeed a lie, and people who
believe this need serious help.
On a last note, I would like to say
that most Christians dont even know about this event, you tell them about it they
will say you are lying or that they never knew that. This shows that some chapters in the
Bible are intentionally not taught to Christians and are made quiet so people dont
notice it. Well the
Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") noticed it, and we will notice all the sick perverted chapters from the Bible and
expose each one!
This concludes this article of Genesis
38, make sure you dont let your kids read this chapter.
