Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:03.083 --> 00:00:04.023
Day 95.

00:00:04.333 --> 00:00:07.933
About this time, Judah left
home and moved to Adullam where

00:00:07.933 --> 00:00:09.583
he stayed with a man named Ra.

00:00:10.243 --> 00:00:14.473
There he saw a Canaanite woman, the
daughter of Shua, and he married her.

00:00:15.313 --> 00:00:18.373
When he slept with her, she became
pregnant and gave birth to his

00:00:18.373 --> 00:00:20.803
son, and he named the boy er.

00:00:21.613 --> 00:00:24.343
Then she became pregnant again
and gave birth to another

00:00:24.343 --> 00:00:26.293
son, and she named him Onin.

00:00:27.028 --> 00:00:30.088
And when she gave birth to a
third son, she named him Sheila.

00:00:30.748 --> 00:00:33.778
At the time of Sheila's birth,
they were living at Kezi.

00:00:35.068 --> 00:00:38.638
In the course of time, Judah
arranged for his firstborn son er

00:00:38.908 --> 00:00:41.068
to marry a young woman named Tamar.

00:00:41.938 --> 00:00:45.898
But er was a wicked man in the Lord's
sight, so the Lord took his life.

00:00:46.498 --> 00:00:51.598
Then Judah said to ER's, brother Onin,
go and marry Tamar as our law requires

00:00:51.598 --> 00:00:53.278
of the brother of a man who has died.

00:00:53.728 --> 00:00:55.858
You must produce an heir for your brother.

00:00:56.893 --> 00:01:00.283
But Onin was not willing to have a
child who would not be his own heir.

00:01:00.823 --> 00:01:03.853
So whenever he had intercourse
with his brother's wife, he

00:01:03.853 --> 00:01:05.713
spilled the semen on the ground.

00:01:06.583 --> 00:01:10.633
This prevented her from having a child
who would belong to his brother, but

00:01:10.633 --> 00:01:14.323
the Lord considered it evil for Onin
to deny a child to his dead brother.

00:01:14.863 --> 00:01:16.963
So the Lord took on's life too.

00:01:18.283 --> 00:01:22.438
Then Judah said to Tamar, his
daughter-in-law, Go back to your parents'

00:01:22.438 --> 00:01:26.428
home and remain a widow until my son,
Sheila, is old enough to marry you.

00:01:27.448 --> 00:01:30.928
But Judah didn't really intend to
do this because he was afraid Sheila

00:01:30.928 --> 00:01:32.758
would also die like his two brothers.

00:01:33.538 --> 00:01:36.088
So Tamar went back to
live in her father's home.

00:01:37.168 --> 00:01:39.658
Some years later, Judah's wife died.

00:01:40.228 --> 00:01:43.918
After the time of mourning was
over, Judah and his friend Hira,

00:01:43.948 --> 00:01:48.028
the A dolomite, went up to Timnah to
supervise the shearing of his sheep.

00:01:49.138 --> 00:01:53.338
Someone told Tamar, look, your
father-in-law is going up to

00:01:53.338 --> 00:01:55.018
Timnah to shear his sheep.

00:01:56.188 --> 00:02:00.238
Tamar was aware that Sheila had grown
up, but no arrangements had been made for

00:02:00.238 --> 00:02:05.188
her to come and marry him, so she changed
out of her widow's clothing and covered

00:02:05.188 --> 00:02:07.528
herself with a veil to disguise herself.

00:02:08.548 --> 00:02:11.758
Then she sat beside the road at the
entrance to the village of Anaya,

00:02:12.598 --> 00:02:14.158
which is on the road to Timnah.

00:02:14.878 --> 00:02:18.538
Judah noticed her and thought she was
a prostitute since she had covered her

00:02:18.538 --> 00:02:23.878
face, so he stopped and propositioned
her, let me have sex with you.

00:02:24.178 --> 00:02:27.118
He said, not realizing that she
was his own daughter-in-law.

00:02:27.778 --> 00:02:29.848
How much will you pay to have sex with me?

00:02:30.148 --> 00:02:33.478
Tamar asked, I will send you
a young goat from my flock.

00:02:33.778 --> 00:02:38.488
Judah promised, but what will you give me
to guarantee that you will send the goat?

00:02:38.848 --> 00:02:42.148
She asked, what kind of
guarantee do you want?

00:02:42.148 --> 00:02:48.013
He replied, She answered, leave me your
identification seal and it's cord and

00:02:48.013 --> 00:02:49.633
the walking stick you are carrying.

00:02:50.383 --> 00:02:51.913
So Judah gave them to her.

00:02:52.393 --> 00:02:55.363
Then he had intercourse with
her and she became pregnant.

00:02:56.113 --> 00:02:59.293
Afterwards, she went back home,
took off her veil and put on

00:02:59.298 --> 00:03:01.033
her widow's clothing as usual.

00:03:02.143 --> 00:03:06.133
Later, Judah asked his friend Hera
the Aite to take the young goat to

00:03:06.133 --> 00:03:09.343
the woman and to pick up the things
he had given her as his guarantee.

00:03:10.183 --> 00:03:11.533
But Hera couldn't find her.

00:03:12.058 --> 00:03:15.658
So he asked the men who lived
there, where can I find the shrine

00:03:15.658 --> 00:03:19.078
prostitute who was sitting beside
the road at the entrance to Anam.

00:03:20.068 --> 00:03:22.288
We've never had a shrine prostitute here.

00:03:22.293 --> 00:03:23.038
They replied.

00:03:23.728 --> 00:03:28.138
So Hera returned to Judah and told
him I couldn't find her anywhere, and

00:03:28.143 --> 00:03:31.438
the men of the village claimed they've
never had a shrine prostitute there.

00:03:32.428 --> 00:03:34.228
Then let her keep the things I gave her.

00:03:34.228 --> 00:03:38.698
Or Judah said, I sent the young goat as
we agreed, but you couldn't find her.

00:03:39.238 --> 00:03:43.588
We'd be the laughing stock of the village
if we went back again to look for her.

00:03:44.728 --> 00:03:48.868
About three months later, Judah was
told, Tamar, your daughter-in-law

00:03:49.168 --> 00:03:53.578
has acted like a prostitute, and
now because of this, she's pregnant.

00:03:54.508 --> 00:03:57.448
Bring her out and let her be burned.

00:03:57.628 --> 00:04:02.308
Judah demanded, but as they were
taking her out to kill her, she sent

00:04:02.308 --> 00:04:03.958
this message to her father-in-law.

00:04:04.798 --> 00:04:09.688
The man who owns these things made
me pregnant, look closely, who seal

00:04:09.688 --> 00:04:11.878
and cord and walking stick are these.

00:04:12.868 --> 00:04:19.258
Judah recognized them immediately and said
she is more righteous than I am because

00:04:19.258 --> 00:04:21.208
I didn't arrange for her to marry my son.

00:04:21.208 --> 00:04:24.898
Sheila and Judah never
slept with Tamar again.

00:04:26.248 --> 00:04:29.608
When the time came for Tamar to
give birth, it was discovered

00:04:29.608 --> 00:04:31.108
that she was carrying twins.

00:04:31.888 --> 00:04:35.068
While she was in labor, one of
the babies reached out his hand.

00:04:35.698 --> 00:04:38.908
The midwife grabbed it and tied a
scarlet string around the child's

00:04:38.908 --> 00:04:43.438
wrist, announcing this one came
out first, but then he pulled back

00:04:43.438 --> 00:04:45.388
his hand and out came his brother.

00:04:46.048 --> 00:04:47.998
What the midwife exclaimed.

00:04:48.208 --> 00:04:49.828
How did you break out first?

00:04:50.578 --> 00:04:52.228
So he was named Pez.

00:04:53.038 --> 00:04:57.388
Then the baby with the scarlet string on
his wrist was born and he was named zero.

00:04:59.743 --> 00:05:02.623
This concludes today's
Immer Reading experience.
