The Unjust Sexual Exploitation of Judah and Genesis 38

In Genesis 38, the writer intends for us to be thinking about the unjust sexual exploits of David the Judahite. The stories of Bathsheba and Tamar in Second Samuel present David in a bad light, but they're not nearly as bad as they could have been. In both cases, the perpetrator is forced to admit his guilt publicly,. Both are at the center of an injustice involving sexual intercourse.
