  1. Genesis 38:27-29

    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 38:27-28 . .When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb! While she was in labor, one of them put out his hand, and the midwife tied a crimson thread on that hand, to signify: This one came out first.[/B]

    According to modern medicine, a baby isn't really born until it's head is outside the womb; so that it's legal (in some states) to kill babies with a so called "dilation and extraction" abortion; ...

  2. Genesis 38:18-26

    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†. [/COLOR]Gen 38:18a . . He said: What pledge should I give you? Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand; she answered.[/B]

    The items that Tamar required for a pledge were akin to a photo ID or a thumb print in those days. Judah's staff wasn't just a kendo stick or a walking cane or a shepherd's crook. It was more like a king's scepter, specially made just for him, and served the express purpose of identifying him as the head of ...

    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†. [/COLOR]Gen 38:11c . . So Tamar went to live in her father's house.[/B]

  4. Genesis 38:3-11b

    [FONT=Verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 38:3-5 . . She conceived and bore a son, and he named him Er. She conceived again and bore a son, and named him Onan. Once again she bore a son, and named him Shelah; he was at Chezib when she bore him.[/B]

    The community of Chezib (a.k.a. Achzib and Chozeba) has been identified with Khirbet Kueizibah by somebody named Conder (Palestine Exploration, Jan. 1875). The Talmud mentions that a plain is in front of Chozeba; so Kueizibah ...

  5. Genesis 38:1-2

    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 38:1a . . About that time[/B]

    Joseph was 17 when he arrived in Egypt (Gen 37:2) and 30 when he became prime minister (Gen 41:46). When he went to work for Pharaoh; a 14-year period began, consisting of two divisions-- seven years of plenty, and seven years of famine. After 9 of the 14 years had passed-- the 7 years of plenty, and 2 of the years of famine --Joseph summoned his dad to Egypt (Gen 45:6-9) which would add up to ...
