Then Judah Said to Tamar, Remain a Widow in Your Father's House

Job 29 and 30 Job recalls past happiness. Judah said to Onen, go into your brother's wife and raise up offspring for your brother. But Onen knew that the offspring would not be his so when he went into his brother's wife he spilled the semen on the ground. And what he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord, and he slew him also. Tamar put off her widow's garments and put on a veil,. wrapping herself up and sat at the entrance to an aim which is on the road to Timna. For she saw that Shila was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.
