Parallels

  • Genesis 38:2-3 (verbal): Same account: Judah married a daughter of Shua the Canaanite and the birth of his sons Er, Onan, and Shelah is recorded (Chronicles summarises this material from Genesis).
  • Genesis 38:7-10 (verbal): Continues the Genesis narrative: Er is described as wicked and put to death by the Lord; Onan's sexual refusal and punishment are narrated—events presupposed by Chronicles' brief note about Er's wickedness and death.
  • Genesis 46:12 (structural): Listing of Jacob's family who go to Egypt includes Judah and his sons Er, Onan, and Shelah, paralleling Chronicles' genealogical presentation of Judah's offspring.
  • Matthew 1:3 (thematic): NT genealogy of Jesus highlights Judah's line (through Tamar and Perez), reflecting the long-term genealogical significance of Judah's offspring sketched in Chronicles, though Matthew focuses on Perez rather than Er/Onan.

Alternative generated candidates

  • The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah—three were born to him from the Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua. Now Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD put him to death.

Parallels

  • Genesis 38:29-30 (verbal): Direct narrative account of Tamar bearing Perez (Peretz) and Zerah (Zerah), including the detail of Perez emerging first—same birth story behind the Chronicles entry.
  • Genesis 46:12 (structural): Lists the sons of Judah (Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah) when Jacob's family goes to Egypt, paralleling Chronicles' enumeration of Judah's offspring.
  • Ruth 4:12 (allusion): Blesses the widow with a name like Perez’s, invoking Tamar’s son as the important ancestor in Judah’s line (connects Tamar→Perez to Davidic descent).
  • Matthew 1:3 (verbal): New Testament genealogy explicitly records 'Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar,' echoing the same genealogical fact in Chronicles.
  • Luke 3:33 (verbal): Lucas’ genealogy includes Perez among Judah’s descendants, aligning with Chronicles’ emphasis on Perez as a key progenitor in Israel’s line.

Alternative generated candidates
