Tamar

Tamar is the biblical person named as Er’s wife and Judah’s daughter-in-law in Genesis 38:6 and Genesis 38:11; the supplied coverage also begins with the place-name Hazazon-tamar in Genesis 14:7. Judah told Tamar to remain a widow in her father’s house until Shelah grew up. Later, a report to Judah said that Tamar was pregnant, and Judah ordered that she be brought out and burned (Genesis 38:24). Ruth names Perez as the one Tamar bore to Judah, and Matthew names Perez and Zerah as born from Tamar (Ruth 4:12; Matthew 1:3).
