7: Tamar: The Full Story


Listen Later

Tamar was sentenced to burn at the stake by the very man who ruined her life—but six words and three borrowed objects changed biblical history forever.


In the ancient world, a childless widow had no rights and no future. Trapped by her father-in-law Judah and denied the levirate marriage she was owed, Tamar took matters into her own hands. By disguising herself on the road to Timnah, she risked the ultimate punishment to secure her place in her family.


When Judah ordered her death for her scandalous pregnancy, Tamar's brilliant reveal forced the patriarch to admit his own guilt. Out of this incredible story of survival came Perez, the ancestor of Boaz, King David, and ultimately Jesus. Discover how one woman's defiance preserved the most important royal lineage in the Bible.


I got many requests to combine the Tamar videos into just one. Here it is.
