	Tamar (Bible) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tamar is one of only five women mentioned in Matthew's version of the Genealogy of Jesus, the others being Ruth, Rahab, Bathsheba (mother of Solomon, and mentioned only indirectly), and Mary.
		When Judah heard that Tamar was pregnant out of wedlock, he seized the opportunity to rid himself of the burden he saw her as, calling for her execution (Gen.
		He praised Tamar, saying, "She hath been more righteous than I, because that I gave her not to Shelah my son." He admitted that whatever her faults and sins were, they were done out of desperation, while his sins were greater, being done out of negligence.

		According to the Bible, whenever he had sexual intercourse with his brother's wife he spilt his seed upon the ground (Genesis 38:7-9); the Bible says that he did this because (under the custom of levirate marriage) the child would not be considered his, but his late brother's.
		Most modern Biblical scholars, however, say that Onan's sin was to violate the rules of levirate marriage, the Biblical law which states that a childless widow must marry her late husband's brother.
		It is now generally agreed that the passage refers to coitus interruptus rather than masturbation, but confusion seems to have originated from the fact that both practices result in depositing semen outside of a vagina and thusly prevents the spermatazoa from being united with an ovum.

		One such example of this is Pseudo-Philo's treatment of the biblical figure, Tamar.
		Gone are the facts of Tamar's seduction of Judah, the wickedness of Judah's sons, and various other embarrassing details.

		Tamar, "Palm Tree," is the first woman named in the genealogy of Matthew: "Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar" (Mt 1:3).
		Tamar also demonstrates the anomalous situation of her being a widow and needing intervention from God to redeem her and to clarify her righteousness.
		Just as Tamar is not condemned as a prostitute when she sought justice from the family of Judah who was pledged to provide for her, neither is Rahab (Jos 2) who is praised for her faith, her ingenuity, and her hospitality, one of the greatest virtues extolled in the Scriptures.

	Reading Scripture with Kenneth Burke: Genesis
		The figure of Tamar can recede in such a reading; it can be forgotten that the story can function on its own, centered on a woman’s clever solution to a serious problem when it is read as an independent short story, Tamar, not Judah, becomes the main character and hero.
		Tamar acted because she "saw." As a result, Judah finally saw and ackowledged that he had acted unfairly toward his daughter-in-law.
		Not only did Tamar’s actions bring new life to the family (two sons for the two that were lost), but her exposure of Judah gave him the opportunity to mortify or "slay" himself and thereby avert the possibility of a deadly judgment from YHWH.

	Adoption and The Bible - a short article
		As a preface to the Biblical meaning of adoption, it must be realised that the modern concept of adoption took a major detour around the mid-1930s.
		The purpose is to foster debate, something which Biblical thinkers should never be afraid of, to alert churchian adoption promoters that perhaps a rethink is in order, and to encourage the Christian sector into the realisation that their's is a vast area of ministry waiting for a more Biblical approach.
		This Biblical pattern was repeated with the apprenticing of the boy Samuel in 1 Samuel Chapter 1.

	Unveiling the Versions: The Tactics of Tamar in Genesis 38:15
		“When Judah saw her (Tamar), he thought her to be a prostitute, for she had covered her face.” At first blush, the statement seems fairly straightforward: the veiled face of Tamar leads Judah to conclude that she is a common prostitute.
		Thus it is with some warrant that biblical scholars, past and present, have associated the garment with the profession; that is, it was the veil of Tamar that signaled to Judah her status as a prostitute.
		Others, however, have disputed this reading of the verse, citing biblical and ancient Near Eastern evidence to indicate that the veil itself was not diagnostic, but simply allowed Tamar to conceal her identity.

		It is quite conceivable that the 1 Chronicles 21:5 figure included all the available men of fighting age, whether battle-seasoned or not, whereas the 2 Samuel 24:9 account is speaking only of those who were ready for battle.
		In the case of 2 Samuel 24, the figure for Judah included the already known figure of 30,000 troops mustered by Benjamin.
		Hence it was reasonable to include Benjamin with Judah and Simeon in the sub-total figure of 500,000, even though Joab may not have itemized it in the first report he gave to David (1 Chronicles 21:5).
