Zarah means a Riser, or Returner. And so we trust will be the return of our elder brother the Jew, to the redemption of the LORD, when that blessed scripture comes to be fulfilled; Romans 11:25-26 . Genesis 38:0 REFLECTIONS What hath sin wrought in all ages! What a dreadful bias to evil is naturally in the mind of every man!

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 38:14
Veil; (theristrum) a long robe, covering the whole body, except the eyes. Thus she was disguised; or, as it were, masked, as Aquila translates. Harlots herein imitated modest women, chap. xxiv. 65. --- Cross way. Hebrew Henayim , which the Septuagint and Syriac take for a proper name.

(Haydock) --- She remained a widow afterwards, as she was now rendered unfit to be married either to Juda or Sela. The latter married another woman, Numbers xxvi. 19.
