PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE JUDAH GEN 35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: GEN 37:26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? GEN 37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. GEN 38:1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. GEN 38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. GEN 38:3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. GEN 38:4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. GEN 38:5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. GEN 38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. GEN 38:12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. GEN 38:13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. GEN 38:14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. GEN 38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. GEN 38:16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? GEN 38:17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? GEN 38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. GEN 38:19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. GEN 38:20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not. GEN 38:21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. GEN 38:22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. GEN 38:23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. GEN 38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. GEN 38:25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. GEN 38:26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. GEN 43:1 And the famine was sore in the land. GEN 43:2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food. GEN 43:3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. GEN 43:4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: GEN 43:5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. GEN 43:6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? GEN 43:7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? GEN 43:8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones. GEN 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: GEN 43:10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time. GEN 44:14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. GEN 44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine? GEN 44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found. GEN 44:17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father. GEN 44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. GEN 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? GEN 44:20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. GEN 44:21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. GEN 44:22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. GEN 44:23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. GEN 44:24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. GEN 44:25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. GEN 44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us. GEN 44:27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: GEN 44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: GEN 44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. GEN 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life; GEN 44:31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. GEN 44:32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. GEN 44:33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. GEN 44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. GEN 46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. GEN 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. GEN 49:9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? GEN 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. GEN 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: GEN 49:12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. MAT 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; MAT 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; REV 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
