The Judah and Tomar Story

Do we have an idea of how old he was when he was sold off in his slavery? Boy, wat, the number 17 just rings in my head. He cann't start to lose hope at that point, i think. And now this guy has reversed the order of his story. He's taken his tragedy and turned it into fortune. The one thing we're missing is the pit. I feel like the judah and tomars story seems to speak to us about forgiveness,. It may be pointing us towards the end of thi story. But nevertheless, the details are still there.
