women of the Bible: Tamar by ric Gustafson
Judah chose Tamar to marry their son Er. God struck him dead because he was very evil. The heir was passed to Judah's middle son Onan. God struck him down also. The heir went to Judah's youngest son Shelah. He was too young.
One day, Tamar disguised herself as a prostitute and made love to Judah. Three months later, Judah finds out that Tamar is pregnant. When Judah found out, he was going to have her burned. He changed his mind and Tamar had twins. One of the twins became a direct ancestor of Jesus.
