* Genesis 38 seems out of place in the story of Israel.

* vs 24 - Notice Judah’s response to Tamar when he discovered she was pregnant - “let her be burned.”

* vs 26 - Notice Judah’s response after Tamar sent him a message - “she is more righteous than I.”

* What happened in verse 25? CONVICTION.

* How was he convicted? Go back to Genesis 37:32.

* Judah had the plan to lie to his dad about Joseph’s death.

* He told his dad, “please examine (Joseph’s coat).”

* He was deceiving.

* Tamar then says the same thing, “please examine (these articles).”

* He was deceived.

* Judah knew God had dealt with him and he was a changed man.
