1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Let us pray. When she was brought forth, she sent 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: to her father in law, saying, by the man whose 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: these are am I with child? And he said, discern, 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: I pray thee whose these are the signet and bracelets 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: and staff Genesis thirty eight, twenty five. Heavenly Father, as 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: I move closer and closer to my destiny, I will 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: not sign away my integrity for moments of pleasure. I 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: will stand strong even when the temptations of monetary pleasure 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: try to lure me off my God given assignment. I 10 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: will not make the mistake Jude made, then give away 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 1: the gifts in my life that validate my identity. For 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: I know that I can only walk in my power 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: when I am unapologetically me. So God, to day, I 14 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: choose to tap into your unlimited power that gives me 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: the ability to conquer the mistakes of my past. Then 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: step into the glorious future you have for me. Thank you, 17 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: Lord for redeeming my life and giving me hope for 18 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: brighter days. In Jesus' name, Amen. Listening to these daily 19 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: prayers strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the 20 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: Lord by listening to today's Bible in a Year brought 21 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: to you by Bible Ineyear dot com. 22 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: Tamorrow and Judah. Before this story, we learned how Joseph 23 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: was Israel's favorite son and was given a coat of 24 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: many colors by his father. While Joseph was clothed with 25 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: his father's favor, the others were clothed with jealousy and 26 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: hatred towards Joseph. Contemptibly, they sold Joseph into slavery and 27 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: lied to their father about his death. Now we will 28 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: learn about the fourth brother, Judah, and his father's descend 29 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: into dysfunction and God's faithfulness in it. Inspired by the 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: Book of Genesis. 31 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the 32 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: Bible of the Year podcast. In our previous reading, we 33 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: saw how Joseph was the favorite son of Israel, his father, 34 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: and how this favoritism and Joseph's on ego and arrogance 35 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: had caused hatred to grow in the hearts of his brothers. 36 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: The brothers conspired against him, first intending to kill him, 37 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: but then selling him into slavery to a traveling band 38 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: that carried Joseph off to Egypt. But as to the brothers, 39 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: any thought of their troubles. Going away with Joseph was naive, 40 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 3: and in today's reading we'll hear the story of one 41 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: of those brothers, Judah. He was the ringleader in the 42 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: evil plan, and now he'll set off to make a 43 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: life for himself away from his family. What will unfold 44 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: is the story of impatience, deception, and impulsive indulgent actions 45 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: that will leave a trail of hurt and death. But 46 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: through it all God will continue to work. Despite the 47 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: sins of those involved, God will enact his beautiful plan 48 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: of redemption. In today's story, you will see God's justice 49 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: and judgment come upon those who displease him and disobey him. 50 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: It is a powerful reminder that while God is slow 51 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: to anger, there are times when he responds swiftly to 52 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: those who sin against him. We'll also see God extending 53 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: grace and mercy to Judas, so that through him God 54 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: can bring into the world the one who will absorb 55 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: God's righteous wrath and judgment once and for all. So 56 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: now let's listen to this reading from the Book of Genesis. 57 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: Judah, the brother who had devised the plan to sell 58 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: Joseph into slavery, was determined to make a name for himself. 59 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: He turned from his brothers and looked towards the Canaanites. 60 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: There he had an Adulamite friend whose name was Hira. 61 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: While he dwelt there, he met a daughter of Shua, 62 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: a beautiful Canaanite woman. Judah took her for himself, and 63 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: the two bore three sons, earth Onan and Sheelah. When 64 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: Er was of age, Judah found a wife for him Tamar. However, 65 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: he was not a man worthy of a wife or 66 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: any sort of blessing. Almost like a disease. Er grew 67 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: up with a wickedness in his heart. It plagued him, 68 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: and an evil shadow was cast wherever he went. The 69 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: Lord had allowed her to experience. In early death, leaving 70 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: Tamar a widow, Judah looked to his second born son, Onan, 71 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: go into your brother's wife, make love and have many offspring, 72 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: for such is your duty as a brother in law. However, 73 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: Onan knew in his heart that he would be having 74 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 2: children for his dead brother Earn. Yet the pleasure of 75 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: Tamar's bedroom was too enticing for him to pass up. 76 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: He had sex with her, but pulled out so they 77 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: would not have children. He used her, and it was 78 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: wicked in the sight of the Lord Onan too fell 79 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: to an early death allowed by the hand of God. 80 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: Tamar was now twice widowed and without children. She was 81 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: forced to remain in her father's house until Judah's third son, Shella, 82 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: was old enough to marry her. However, Shellah was fearful 83 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: to marry Tamar, for he had seen what happened to 84 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 2: his older brothers. Time had passed and Judah's family was 85 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: plagued with yet another death. As the Tower of Babel 86 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: in ancient times, the hope he had to build his 87 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: own kingdom was slowly crumbling. Judah's wife had passed away 88 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: and he was left alone with his son Cella. Judah 89 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: went to Tymna with his friend Hira to shear his sheep. 90 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 2: Taking a trip with his friend would comfort him in 91 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: his grief. Tamar, still childless, brooded and schemed alone. Sella 92 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: was grown up, yet would not marry her. Bitterness and 93 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: loneliness overcame her a dangerous pairing. She had heard Judah 94 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: was traveling to Tymna to shear his sheep, so she 95 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: took her widow's garments off and covered herself with a 96 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: veil and wrapped herself up to look like a prostitute. 97 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: She sat at the entrance of a naum, attempting to 98 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 2: cross paths with Judah. He saw her from a distance, 99 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: having no idea who she really was. At the roadside, 100 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: Judah gestured towards her and said, come now, let me 101 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: come in to you. What will you give me if 102 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: I say yes? Tamar said, in her most seductive and 103 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: mysterious voice, I can send you a young goat from 104 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: my flock. Judah replied anxiously, I see no goats with you. 105 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: What will you give me as a deposit until it arrives. 106 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: Tamar negotiated, for she knew exactly what she wanted from him. 107 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: Give me your signet, ring, your cord, and your staff, 108 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: things that can only be identified as yours. So the 109 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: two agreed, and Judah unknowingly laid with his daughter in 110 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: law for momentary pleasure. Judah signed away his integrity. Tamar 111 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: conceived that day and left with Judah's possessions. Later that night, 112 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: she put her widow's clothes back on and awaited Judah's return. 113 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: Judah sent the young goat to where he had met Tamar. 114 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: Confused when he didn't find her, he asked the men 115 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: of the city where he could find her. Where can 116 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: I find the colt prostitute who stood at the gate 117 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: of a naum? He asked the men, There is no 118 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: colt prostitute at the gate of a naum, they said 119 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: with a slight grin, Knowing he had probably been tricked, 120 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: Judah returned empty handed, irked and embarrassed. Three months had 121 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: passed and Tamar began to show she was pregnant. Words 122 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: spread to Judah. People of the town had assumed she 123 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: had been unfaithful and became pregnant apart from his son's. 124 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: Judah's blood boiled at the news. Fuming, he sent men 125 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: to retrieve her. Let her be burned, he shouted. Judah 126 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: had lost nearly everything, and he would not allow his 127 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: name to be tarnished even more. As she was being 128 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: brought back out, she sent word back to Judah along 129 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: with his signet, ring, chord, and staff. She said, I 130 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: am pregnant by whoever these belonged to. Do you know 131 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: who owns these? Judah saw that they were his and 132 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: conceded that he had been tricked. Truly, she is more 133 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: righteous than I, Judah said, with a sigh, I did 134 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: not give Schella to be her husband, and now I 135 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: am paying for it. Judah left Tamar alone after that 136 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: and allowed her to live her life in peace. When 137 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: the time had come, Tamar had twins, Perees and Zarah. 138 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: Perees had a scarlet cord in his hand. Little did 139 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: Tamar or Judah know that God would be active in 140 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: redeeming their family's wickedness, trickery, and dysfunction. From Perez. The 141 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: promise of Abraham would continue, for he would be an 142 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: ancestor of Christ himself. 143 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: It was Judah who devised the plan to sell Joseph 144 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 3: into slavery, and as we begin today's story, we see 145 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: he has moved on, seemingly unaffected and unrepentant of his 146 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 3: treachery and cruelty towards his own brother, but also towards 147 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: his father, Jacob. Judah decides to leave his family and 148 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 3: go find a wife among the Canaanites, and he is 149 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: successful in doing so. He finds a wife who gives 150 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: him three sons. But just as Abraham and Sarah's struggle 151 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: to conceive to not indicate an absence of God's favor 152 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: toward them, the arrival of these three sons does not 153 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: signal God's acceptance of Judah's choice to leave his community 154 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: and marry a foreign woman. This is a very important lesson, 155 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: not only in the danger of straying from the place 156 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: where God wants you to be. It is also a 157 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: reminder that temporary success or achievements are not necessarily a 158 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: sign that we are in the will of God. Judah 159 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 3: is intent on growing his family and indeed his own kingdom, 160 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: so when his eldest son Er is of age, he 161 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: finds a wife for her, a woman named Tamar. However, 162 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: we are told that Err is evil in God's eyes, 163 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 3: and for this reason God takes his life. God's patience 164 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: of our sins. God's forbearance of our sins is not 165 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: always guaranteed, and as a holy and perfect God who 166 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: created us, our life can be taken by Him in 167 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: his judgment at any time. This is what happened to Er, 168 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: if we could think honestly about it. It is a 169 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: fate we all deserve. We all deserve judgment because of 170 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: our sin. How blessed and thankful we are for the 171 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: grace and mercy of God that he is slow to 172 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: anger and to punish. Judah is still intent on growing 173 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: his family and making a name for himself, and he 174 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: tells his second son Oan to take Tamar and make 175 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 3: babies with her. But Odin is not interested in starting 176 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: a family with this woman. He is interested only in 177 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 3: the physical gratification of sexual pleasure. Onon uses Tamar and 178 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 3: deceives her so that they cannot bear children from his seat, 179 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: and for this deception, God once again enacts swift and 180 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 3: ultimate judgment, sending Onan to an early great now. This 181 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: passage is assorted passage in many ways, but it is 182 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: not a condemnation of sex for pleasure. This is one 183 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: of the beautiful purposes for which God created and gave 184 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 3: the gift of sex between a husband and a wife 185 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 3: within the covenant of marriage. Now Judah is left with 186 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 3: only one son, his youngest Sheilah. Afraid that his son 187 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: too will die, he sends Tamar to her father's home. 188 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 3: He promises to let his son Sheilah marry her when 189 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: he grows older, but he never does. He simply abandons 190 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 3: this widow in her sad state. When Judah's own wife dies, 191 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 3: Tamar sees an opportunity to secure a future for herself, 192 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: showing poor judgment and even weaker character, Judah sleeps with Tamar, 193 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: who was deceptively posing as a prostitute. She goes away 194 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: with a baby conceived in her wound, but more importantly, 195 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: with exactly what she needs to trap Judah his symbols 196 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 3: of authority, And when her pregnancy is discovered, Judah, who 197 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: does not know it was her he slept with, wants 198 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 3: to have her burned for her transgression, But when Tamar 199 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 3: produces his personal items, he knows he's caught and he confesses. 200 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: Judah recognized that he did not act as a man 201 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: of his word, for he should have had his son 202 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 3: Sheilah mary Tamar as he had promised. Tamar's life is 203 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: spared and she gives birth to twin boys. And out 204 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: of this terrible situation, this sordid situation, God would bring 205 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: good that nobody could imagine. For one of these sons, Perez, 206 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 3: will be one of our Lord's ancestors. Once again, we 207 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: see how God is working always for his good and 208 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: for his purposes, that he is faithful even when we 209 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 3: are unfaithful to him. His promises cannot and will not 210 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: be broken. And Judas life is a powerful reminder of 211 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 3: this unchanging, eternal truth. Dear God, thank you for showing 212 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 3: us the danger of strayth from the path of your will. 213 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 3: Thank you God that when we sin, when we do 214 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: not obey, when we do not act with integrity and sincerity, 215 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: you can even bring good out of our situation because 216 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: you can redeem and restore what is broken and lost. 217 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: Thank you for always being a good God, a faithful God, 218 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: a holy God.
