TAMAR: From estranged wife to Jesus' ancestor
The story of Tamar came to light as a result of Judah's failings in Genesis chapter thirty eight. These series of events took place after Joseph had already been sold to the Ishmaelites by his envious brothers, after which Judah left his family and for an infamous adventure to the land of Canaan. It was in Canaan that Judah met a damsel that caught his eye named Shuah. He went into intimate relationship with her against the customs of the Hebrews. His relationship with Shuah produced three sons Er, Onan, and Shelah. Judah took a wife for Er named Tamar. Er was killed by God as a result of his wickedness (i wonder what he did), and as the custom of the day was Onan, Judah's second son was the next in line to inherit Tamar so she could bare children for Er. Not finding the idea beneficial to him, Onan intentionally refuses to do the needful when he went into intimate relationship with Tamar. God considered Onan's act as wickedness and as a result he had to be slain. After On
