Bible Question:
What was Tamar a picture off in the bible Genesis chap 38 |
Bible Answer: She is certainly a picture of a woman who would not be denied her rights and was willing to risk her life to get what was rightfully hers. Her inclusion in the geneology of Jeus in Matthew makes her the first woman mentioned in the New Testament. Her presence along with Rehab (a Gentile) and Bathseba (who may also have been a Gentile), along with the virtuous Gentile, Ruth, make an interesting lineage for the Savior, which silenced any slanders against the lieneage and questionable circumstance of Jesus birth by those who opposed the early Church. For the Pharisees could not suggest scandal in the lineage of Jesus without having to deal with scandal in the lineage of david also David also. Emmaus |
