Summary

In this verse, Tamar gives birth to twins, Perez and Zerah, through her father-in-law Judah. This event is significant as it continues the lineage of Judah, one of the sons of Jacob, who would later become the tribe of Judah. The birth of Perez, who is mentioned first, is particularly noteworthy as he becomes an ancestor of King David and ultimately Jesus Christ. This genealogy highlights God's faithfulness in preserving the line through unexpected circumstances and individuals, ultimately fulfilling His promises of a Messiah.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite,.... Who went with him to Timnath, and was privy to all this wickedness, and kept the secret; but would have acted the more friendly and faithful part had he dissuaded him from it: him he employed to carry the kid he had promised, and not any of his servants, for the greater secrecy: and to receive his pledge from the woman's hand; his signet, bracelets, and staff, or whatever they were: but he found her not; she was gone from the place where she sat, or where she retired to with Judah.
