John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 38:10

Verse 10 10.And the thing which he did displeased the LORD. Less neatly the Jews speak about this matter. I will contend myself with briefly mentioning this, as far as the sense of shame allows to discuss it. It is a horrible thing to pour out seed besides the intercourse of man and woman. Deliberately avoiding the intercourse, so that the seed drops on the ground, is double horrible. For this means that one quenches the hope of his family, and kills the son, which could be expected, before he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:1

And it came to pass . The present chapter appears to interrupt the continuity of the narrative of Joseph's history. Partly on this account, and partly because the name Jehovah occurs in it ( Genesis 38:7 , Genesis 38:10 ), it has been pronounced a later Jehovistic interpolation (Tuch, Bleek, Davidson, Coleuso). Its design has been explained as an attempt to glorify the line of David by representing it as sprung from Judah (Bohlen), or to disclose the origin of the Levitate law of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:1-30

The house of Judah: a family record of sin and shame. I. THE WICKEDNESS OF ER AND ONAN . 1. Early . On any hypothesis Er and Onan can have been little more than boys when they were married, and yet they appear to have arrived at a remarkable precocity in sin. Nor was it simply that they had shed the innocence and purity of youth, but they had also acquired a shameful proficiency in vice. Young scholars are mostly apt learners, especially in the devil's school. 2.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:1-30

The goodness and severity of God. These occurrences in the family of Judah would seem Judah is a wanderer from his brethren; a sensual, self-willed, degenerate man; yet it is in the line of this same wanderer that the promised seed shall appear. The whole is a lesson on the evil of separation from the people of God . Luther asks why such things were placed in Scripture, and answers, read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:2

And Judah saw there the daughter of a certain (literally, of a man, a ) Canaanite ,—not of a merchant (Onkelos), but of an inhabitant of the land of Canaan— whose name was Shuah ;—"Wealth," "Riches," "Cry for Help" (Gesenius). This was not the name of Judah's wife ( LXX .), but of her father—(vide Genesis 38:12 )—and he took her,— i.e. married her (viz. Genesis 6:2 ; Genesis 24:67 )— and went in unto her . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:3

And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er —"Watcher" (Gesanius). What is commonly regarded as an idiosyncrasy of the Elohist, viz; the naming of a child by its father, here occurs in a so-called Jehovistic section. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:4

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan —"Strength" (Gesenius). The naming of a child by its mother a peculiarity of the so-called Jehovist; but vide Genesis 16:15 . read more

And she yet again conceived (lit; and she added again ) , and bare a son; and called his name Shelah :—"Prayer" (Gesenius), "Peace" (Furst)— and he ( i.e. Judah) was — sc; absent (Gerlach); or, translating impersonally, it was, i.e. the event happened (Murphy)— at Chezib ,—probably the same as Achzib ( Joshua 15:44 ; Micah 1:14 , Micah 1:15 ) and Chezeba ( 1 Chronicles 4:22 ), which in the partitioning of the land fell to the sons of Shelah, and was here mentioned... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:6

And Judah took a wife (cf. Genesis 21:21 ; Genesis 24:4 ) for Er his firstborn, —"by the early marriage of his sons Judah seems to have intended to prevent in them a germinating corruption (Lange)— whose name as Tamar— "Palm tree" (Gesenius). Though the name was Shemitic, it does not follow that the person was. Cf. Melchisedeck and Abimelech. Yet she is not expressly called a Canaanite, though it is more than probable she was. Lange conjectures that she may have been of Philistine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 38:7

And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord. The connection between Er's name ( עֵר ) and Er's character ( רַע ) is noticeable. The special form which his wickedness assumed is not stated; but the accompanying phrase suggests that, as in the case of the Sodomites ( Genesis 13:13 ; Genesis 19:5 ), it was some unnatural abomination. And the Lord slew him —literally, caused him to die; not necessarily by direct visitation; perhaps simply by allowing him to reap... read more
